Every Telos\u00a0trip to Israel\/Palestine has spent time at Tent of Nations, the remarkable sustainable farm in western Bethlehem that organizes under the banner “We Refuse to Be Enemies.” As you may have heard, Daoud and Daher Nassar were brutally attacked last week and hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries.<\/p>\n
Details are still emerging about the nature of the attack and the motivation behind it. Yet we know that the attackers this time were not Israeli, but Palestinian. The Nassars have been fighting to stay on their land for decades, including a nearly 30-year court battle in Israeli courts. They have endured attacks and pressure from the Israeli military and Israeli settlers. Recently, there have been some tensions with some Palestinian neighbors.<\/p>\n
We will keep you updated about this developing story. In the meantime though, we’re asking you to do three things:<\/p>\n
1) “Go and Tell”:<\/b> Daoud tells visitors: “Come and see, go and tell.” Their powerful embodiment of “We Refuse to Be Enemies” is an urgent story for every day, especially this day. Share your personal story from the farm on social media or with friends.<\/p>\n
2) If you have visited the farm, leave a comment in the reply box below<\/b> reflecting on your experience there or the ways you’ve thought or acted differently since visiting. We\u2019ll share your comments with the Nassar family as a way to encourage them in this difficult time.<\/p>\n
