Project Peace Newsletter Dec. 2014
Project Peace will study John Dear’s book The Nonviolent Life during Advent. There will be both a morning and evening group, meeting on Mondays. For details, please call Sr. Paulette at 419-447-1435, Ext. 136.
Senator Kerry spoke out about the Palestinian attack against the Jewish worshippers in Jerusalem’s synagogue on Nov. 17. He called it “pure terror” and yet said nothing about the incitement of the Israeli Military on the Palestinians just prior to this attack:
There’s been plenty of Israeli incitement in recent days, and two Palestinian children were lately blinded by rubber bullets, and on Sunday night a Palestinian bus driver was found hanged, and Palestinians all over East Jerusalem are subject to unrelenting occupation and persecution.
But for American officials, the terror killings of four Jewish men in a West Jerusalem synagogue today are the one and only story. “Pure terror,” as our secretary of state puts it. President Obama condemned the killings with not a word about the Palestinian experience:
We know that two attackers senselessly and brutally attacked innocent worshippers in a synagogue during their morning prayers. Obviously, we condemn in the strongest terms these attacks.A number of people were wounded, and four people were killed, including three American citizens.So this is a tragedy for both nations, Israel as well as the United States.And our hearts go out to the families who obviously are undergoing enormous grief right now.
The time is getting closer….there are now three more people for the 10:30 session and 3 people besides myself for the 6:00 session. Please consider coming
Explore together the questions: When did you begin to move out of the culture of violence and war into the new life of nonviolence and peace? Where are you on the road to peace, as we turn around from the path of violence and war onto the way of peace and nonviolence? How can you become more and more nonviolent? The group will meet on the Mondays of December 10:00 am and 6:30 pm in the Convent basement dining room. Books are available for $12.00 from sr. Paulette 419.447.0435 ext. 136. Please consider this your personal preparation for the Prince of Peace’s celebration among us.

This is a powerful link that is tough in language toward the Western nations in our deception toward the public. Ken O’Keefe points strong fingers at the real terrorists in opening the truth about the talk of going to war in Syria. Mr. O’Keefe minces no words. Do read it please. The pictures are graphic.
