The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil,
but because of the people who don't do anything about it

"HERITAGE"
By: Gush Shalom
Haaretz
26 February 2010
The modest “Rachel’s Tomb”
In the heart of Bethlehem,
Sacred to the three faiths,
Has been turned
Into a fortified position
Forbidden to Muslims.
The “Cave of Machpelah”
Which is also “Ibrahim’s Mosque”
Has become the nest of
Baruch Goldstein and his admirers.
Instead of serving as a
Model of inter-religious tolerance,
Both symbolize now the “heritage”
Of hatred and death.
