met daoud nassar yesterday, a christian palestinian farmer and director of tent of nations. thru their projects for women, youth and families, this organization (mostly run by daoud’s family) uses non-violent approaches to peace in the region. daoud’s farm is located in the west bank, near bethlehem. it was truly eye-opening to meet someone so balanced and peace-loving even tho they live under impossible circumstances. daoud’s family is not allowed to have running water or electricity. they don’t have the right to build on their own land and they have to fight extremely expensive court cases in order not to lose their farm. yet they have found alternative ways of surviving. not only that, they have committed themselves to engaging with others – even settlers who threaten their v existence. pls google tent of nations and friends of tent of nations north america. daoud’s work needs our support.
this is daoud speaking at emmanuel baptist church, november 4, 2010.
