Transcript of video
2010 was coming through over the Afghan horizon
The Afghan Youth Peace Volunteers flew kites for the Gaza Freedom March
They had a tele-conference with friends from Palestine , Israel , Iraq & the US
We wish for the youth of Gaza
The people of Israel & Palestine should stop war & make peace.
Today, we want to converse with them, to become close to one another.
Abdulai, the Taliban killed your father. Do you want to take revenge?
No, we should make peace & not take revenge. If we take revenge, war will increase.
Faiz, your brother was killed by others. Do you bear a grudge in your heart?
No, we’ve made peace with them.
But, in the world today, everyone who has a family member will usually take revenge.
How do we end the thought of revenge?
We can’t go on killing one other in revenge. If we do, the world will end one day.
Blood cannot wash away blood. We should practice love, so such horrors can be forgotten.
My name is Bassam, Bassam from Palestine
I know that the Corries would like to speak to you.
Cindy Corrie : Hello, Bassam, it’s good to hear your voice. And I hope that we have …good things happen for all of us.
I notice that we also have someone from Israel
Hi everybody, my name is Yaniv. Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too!
And then from Washington D.C.
This is Josh Steiber.
We’ll fly kites.
Our hope for freedom!
We have to fly the kites of freedom!
We want freedom from the wounds of our hearts!
We want freedom from hate!
Let the kite fly! Let the string go, let the string go!
Run………!
Love is how the kites will fly in Gaza
Run………!
Freedom, freedom……!
The freedom which we youth, the future of the world, urgently desire is a freedom
from those built-up grievances heaped upon us or within ourselves that separate us constantly,
a freedom from hate and un-kindness.
Love is how the kites in Gaza
Love is how we’ll ask for peace!

My heart goes out to all you young people who cry out for peace. The desire for peace needs to come from within and for those who pursue it, peace will find them.
Here is a word from our Creator. "Return evil for evil to no one. Provide fine things in the sight of all men. If possible as far as it depends upon you, be peaceable with all men. Do not avenge yourselves beloved but yield peace to the wrath, for it is written,"Vengeance is mine. I will repay" says Jehovah
