The human being consists of stances. Last Saturday, in Dublin, the capital of Ireland, a bride left her house in her wedding dress, before the time of her wedding, in order to participate in a demonstration in support of Gaza. While she was walking on the road, she was holding the hand of a little girl who, like herself, was wearing a wedding dress. She looked as if she was going to the place of the wedding ceremony. She was so joyful that the world could not contain her; some of those who surrounded her looked as if, like her, they have changed the location of the wedding venue, for a while. The greatest stance which reveals that you are a human being is that, wherever you are, you support a people who is being unjustly killed while the whole world is asleep. Her face was telling that she knew what she was doing. \"Everything else can wait\u201d! Was her groom participating in this demonstration as well? Maybe he was, and maybe not. If he was with her, then he has done well, and if not, then the bride has done all the good. This would be a great victory if one out of every two people in the world stands up for the oppressed on earth! This is a great stance to abandon all joy for the sake of Gaza.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
