Jenin Freedom March (West Bank)- April 12th
You are welcome to participate in The Interfaith Freedom March on Monday, April 12th, 2010. The group will set out at 2 pm ---------- at the Main Square, Abu Baker Street, Jenin, West Bank.

My friends, it’s no longer possible to say, “Ah, that’s the other side of the World, what does this place have to do with me, my family, my world….”.
The people in the Holy Land, Muslims, Jews and Christians alike, are enshrouded by deep suffering, terrible restrictions on freedoms, limitation of circulation, restricted access, unfair confiscation of land, etc. Whenever that happens in the World, we all suffer because I truly believe, my friends, we are all connected.
When they are free (of suffering, etc.), only then can we be free!
It’s time we all do something about it, in an effective, non-violent way.
Let this march be a precursor to freedom through love and understanding by bringing all people together, as brothers and sisters and as children of the creator, showing the world that all people want peace in Israel and Palestine.

Interfaith Freedom March Details
Frank Romano says everyone is welcome to participate in The Interfaith Freedom March on Monday, April 12th, 2010.
"The marchers will walk in the light of the creator, following the principles of non-violence and respect for all creatures which are common denominators among the Peoples of the Book (ahl al-kitab) who reside in the area, as it is written in their Holy Scriptures of the Qur’an, the Torah, the New Testament, and in other texts. Muslims, Jews, Christians, Sufis, Kabbalists, Buddhists, Hindus, atheists, etc., and members of all faith communities are welcome."
He says the truth is that residents of the area are ready for a durable peace, even those who were not ready a year or two ago.
Romano compares it to the situation in
"As a result, many are laying down their arms, working on interfaith projects to take religion/spirituality out of the conflict and working within the political system to bring about change in a permanent, nonviolent way."
A purpose of this march he says, is also to counter-balance the filtered and false information about the suffering of the people in the area, notably Palestinians and Israelis.
"Their suffering has become invisible in the face of narratives with no basis in reality and exaggerated reporting on incidents of violence and subsequent retaliation, often dominating the news and distracting the world from focusing on the day to day suffering of the residents in the area."
He stresses how removing most of the

Romano wants to see all active freedom/peace/human rights groups in this part of the world continue to work together, and he says the Interfaith Freedom March is dedicated to building humanitarian efforts and improving the education of people in the area in cross-cultural dialogues, mixed student programs, etc., and to improving the economic environment.
This is only the latest such event for Frank Romano, the author of "Storm Over Morocco". He knows the workings of this part of the world better than almost any other person that I know. He knows what it is like to live without freedom, and that is why this event will set up a concerted and consistent effort in furtherance of freeing the area from the terrible bondage of continued conflict.
"Let this march be a precursor to freedom through love and understanding by bringing all people together, as brothers and sisters and as children of the creator, showing the world that all people want peace in
As stated above, the group will set out at 2:00 p.m. at the Main Square, Abu Baker Street, Jenin, West Bank.
