HFMA Region 9’s Post

In the light of Hannukah, we share eight remarkable stories from our IACC communities and partners, both in Israel and overseas. Each story, representing one candle of the Menorah, has been carefully selected for its ability to inspire and uplift. These narratives are not just stories; they are beacons of light that have filled our hearts with hope and courage during these difficult days. As we light each candle, let it be a reminder of our collective resolve and unity. https://lnkd.in/g-Jj_X6q

The lives of everyone connected to Israel and Palestine will never be the same since October 7, 2023. With tens of thousands of lives lost, families torn apart, and children traumatized, now more than ever, we need to continue to show up for one another to mourn, remember, and call for an end to the violence and demand a political solution that brings freedom, justice, and safety for all. Israelis and Palestinians need the international community to join together around our shared grief to heal and build hope that another way is not only possible but imperative. This year will be the 19th annual joint Israeli-Palestinian Memorial Day ceremony organized by Combatants for Peace and the Parents Circle-Families Forum. The Ceremony will take place on May 12, 2024. This year, Combatants for Peace and the Parents Circle-Families Forum will center the ceremony around the stories of children whose only crime was being born Palestinian or Israeli. What will be the future of the next generation? How can we bring hope amidst so much tragedy? Register for the event here: https://lnkd.in/gfKHMWcx

Understanding hope in a philosophical light compels us to reflect on our roles within this dynamic. As global citizens, how do we respond to the hope of others in distress? Do our actions contribute to the fulfillment or the frustration of this hope? Such reflection will determine the way we answer these questions and shapes not just policies and responses to crises (refugee crisis and others) but the very fabric of our shared humanity. Hope, then, is not merely a survival and health strategy; it is a profound testament to the resilience and indefatigable spirit of those who dare to dream of a better tomorrow amidst the rubble of their pasts. It challenges each of us to respond with compassion and justice, ensuring that hope is not a cruel irony but a prelude to a new beginning.

Sparks of hope! We need to listen to each other, in order to do so we need free press, free speech and free social media. Humanity needs fresh ideas and a new type of politics, representing mankind as a whole and each of us as equals instead of fragmented political interests! We have to grow together in order to urgently address the issues that impact all of us like conflict, climate change, inequality and forced migration together. This we can only do without any dominance, as equals. Collectively in Solidarity. www.convergence.ngo & www.pax.ngo
