What we see is that individuals who have been active in Musalaha<\/a> for more than 2 years are writing statements to each other, such as the following:<\/p>\n

\u201cBrothers and sisters in Jesus, In this time of trials and tribulations, let us not lose sight of what Jesus came to the earth to teach us. And that is Love. The greatest power that conquers all. Only God\u2019s love can teach us how to love and forgive our enemies, even if they trample you under their feet. \u2026 I pray that the Lord shows all of us what love really means through His eyes and that He brings comfort to those with shattered hearts. Much much LOVE to everyone!\u201d \u2013 Deborah Holtz, Israeli participant<\/p>\n

\u201cHi brothers from the other side of the wall, are we both doing the same mistake, by watching and listening to the media that is making us look only at our people? I hope not, for I have done that, and look at me making sure only my people are doing well and praying for them. For I am sorry that I am doing that, and I am sending the message over the walls with no rockets attached to tell you I pray for you and for the people in Israel and for you leaders as well and same for mine. Let\u2019s all step out for the light that we have needs to be shine in these dark moments. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u2014Saleem Anfous, Palestinian participant<\/p>\n
