Sabine Sterk – Pain
Pain comes in different forms and shapes; you have physical pain and mental pain.Physical pain is the easiest one to explain, you can measure that someone is ill, has a fever, maybe a wound that is clear for everybody to see. Still it is very 
subjective, you have people with a very low pain threshold and ones with a very high pain threshold. Experiences of pain depends on your pain threshold, your sexe, your education and cultural background. We all agree on this.
But with mental pain it is so much different, how do we explain for example a broken heart, the feeling of being lonely and sad. How can we see in another person his or her suffering? In relation to Israel it seems always an issue… The Pallywood propaganda machine dedicates its entire existence in delegitimizing the suffering from the Jewish people in de past and in the present. It exaggerate
her own pain and by delegitimizing the suffering from Jewish people, from Israelis, they make themselves the biggest victims of injustice in this entire world and the world believes the libel and slander.
Well to the world i tell this:
- Suffering is growing up with little or none family because all are murdered in the WW2
- Suffering is growing up as a child from traumatized parents due to the Shoa
- Suffering is longing to a safe home for the Jews but not able to reach that home
- Suffering is getting discriminated and ridiculed and excluded only because you are Jewish
- Suffering is always longing for peace but always get rejected
- Suffering is forced to defend your country with your own body due to hate against you and your people
- Suffering is getting your loved one killed, murdered because he is Jewish.
- Suffering is working hard on the development of your country and it is torched by savages
- Suffering is living in fear not knowing when the next red alert will sound and where the rocket will fall.
- Suffering is always being the first when there is emergency aid necessary yet you will never be acknowledged
- Suffering is not be able to walk without confrontations with Jew-hatred anywhere except for Israel.
- Suffering is …..etc etc etc
This list of suffering is huge and even overwhelming but instead of getting into a depression and negative spirit, Jews in Israel are celebrating life. One of the reasons one should admire and love Israel is the flexibility of her beautiful people. Yes there is a lot wrong, like anywhere else in this world, mostly all men are macho, women in general are extremely assertive, children are rotten spoiled and Israelis almost never on time. ( excuse me for generalizing)
But where in this world I see the entire population celebrating when there is a plain entering Israel with on board new immigrants? “They”, the Israelis, do not stick in the row for the busstop, but if you are in trouble and reach out? Almost immediately someone Is there to help. Look to the contributions to the world in Hightech, Agriculture, Security, Emergency aid, Medicins. No other country in this world can level Israel.
Israel, the country that knows what suffering is, Israel the country that build herself beyond believes..Israel the only country that keeps my heart and soul forever
Am Yisrael Chai,..
