““For over a week, the entire country has been in flames, thousands of rockets, bombings, igniting of property, shocking acts of violence, and fear and terror from all directions,” said Rivi Diamond, a member of Women Wage Peace and one of the event organizers. “We, Jewish and Arab women, religious and secular, together with the majority of citizens of Israel, from the entire political spectrum, refuse to let violence destroy our home.”

Pas de répit à Gaza et en Israël : Témoignage de Yael Bornstein, Radio Canada
Le conflit entre Israéliens et Palestiniens a, comme souvent, relancé les tensions entre citoyens arabes et juifs au sein d’Israël. Des émeutes violentes ont éclaté dans de nombreuses villes mixtes faisant craindre une guerre civile – la population arabe représente 20 % de la population israélienne.
….
Sans compter que les artisans du dialogue et de la coexistence ont été complètement sonnés par cette explosion de violence. « Plus personne ne se sent en sécurité. Je suis très inquiète. Il faut absolument stopper cette escalade de la violence. Si cela ne s’arrête pas, on risque de tomber dans une guerre civile », remarque Marie-Lyne Smadja, l’une des fondatrices de Women Wage Peace (Les Femmes font la paix).
Marie-Lyne et une vingtaine de femmes, juives et arabes, de droite et de gauche, religieuses et laïques, préparent un rassemblement du mouvement pour mercredi prochain, à Jérusalem. Comme elles, nombre d’associations et de simples citoyens engagés dans le dialogue ont commencé à relever la tête.
