Hope

Don't give up.

Arabic

In life we go through ups and downs, It is to be expected, you cannot expect life to be a bed of roses all the time. We will experience good things and then we will experience bad things.

At the moment the whole world is facing a big challenge.

Countries have gone into a second lock down.

For Bethlehem the tourists still aren't allow to fly into the country.

It will take months and months to get anywhere close to normal.

But don't give up, don't despair.

We happily accept the good times, so in return we should also accept the bad times.

The Corona Virus is a challenge to us all, It will expose your character, Are you someone who will look after number 1 or are you someone who will look after the needs of others too.

Will you share with others even though you don't have a lot yourself?

It is interesting to note that in a national crisis that the main Palestinian companies haven't helped the people.

They have money, lots of money, they make lots of money off you every month yet they are not forgiving you of a bill for 1 month or two.

(I don't know but I imagine they do charity work ) But they aren't helping their people who they make so much money out of at this difficult time.

The water company, the Electric company and the phone company could all forgive a bill for a month or two to ease the burden on the people.

Where is your heart of compassion for your own people ?

Or do you expect the west to bail you out every time.

It is time for Palestinian leaders to lead, It is time for Palestinian business that is doing well at this difficult time to throw out a hand of compassion.

Let the people see your humanity !

(Forgive me Big business if I am wrong, But help your people)
