Irridescent Jewels

Like a hummingbird
Suddenly appearing-
This iridescent jewel that searches for nectar –
Suddenly gone.
And we are held spellbound
By those moments of hovering beauty
And left seeking and searching for a glimpse again.

Terror Attack in Jerusalem


Most people in the west do not know that Arabs live, work and run businesses in West Jerusalem as well as East Jerusalem. They have free access to the downtown area. They ride the buses, shop in the stores and eat in the restaurants. Jews however do not go into East Jerusalem for fear of being attacked or worse, murdered.

There is also a quota of Arabs from the Palestinian areas that are given permits to work in Israel proper. This is where some of the trouble starts.

The massacre of the students at the Harav Yeshiva (Jewish Center of Learning) a few months ago was committed by an Arab who had worked there and was known to everyone. This morning July 2, a terror attack was carried out by an Arab who worked at a building site in Jerusalem. He was driving a bulldozer down Jaffa Street, the main thoroughfare in downtown Jerusalem. Before he was killed he had turned over a bus and crushed a car killing the mother of a five-month old baby. At the time of this report two other people were killed and over fifty were wounded. The baby was miraculously rescued.

Arab children are brought up to believe that killing a Jew honors Allah. They are told that the Jews have stolen their land and kill children and babies. There is a children’s television program on Al-Aqsa TV that a year ago had a look-alike Mickey Mouse called Farfur telling children it is an honor to die for Allah and that killing Jews would give them entrance into Paradise. Unfortunately it took Walt Disney many months before it was taken off the air.

This article is to make you aware of the attack this morning and also to inform you that not everything is as it seems or as told by the news media. The above information is accessible to anyone who wants to know the truth. There are some very reliable news sources and with the internet there is no excuse for anyone to be ignorant.


Pray for the victims of the attack as well as most Arabs who only want to live and work in peace and raise their families.

Pray that the government leaders would bring justice to the situation in an expedient and honorable way.

“Ascribe greatness to our God. He is the Rock. His work is perfect; for all His ways are justice, a God of truth and without injustice; righteous and upright is He,” Deuteronomy 32:3b, 34.

“ He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God?” Micah 6:8.


“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly,” John 10:10
