Hebron

Hebron – what a strange place?!

Where people want to worship God, they instead come to worship their nationalities.
Nationalities which divide and squander,
Which release and capture
Which deceive and seduce.

I can’t make sense of why Rebekah would be here
What would she say if she found herself in a mosque?
Would she get mad? Would she cry and weep? Would she laugh?
She left all to follow her God –
- Can I do the same?

Can these people do the same?

What do those Jews do who sit in those settlements?
Do they see what is below them?
Did not their ancestor Abraham show mercy to the foreigners? –
wait, do not the Muslims call him their forefather too?

And what about the Christians – where are they?
Where were they?
Where did they go?
Where are they now?

Hebron – this is a strange place.
