Comments on: Palestinian Mormon on Hamas and the Wall http://bycommonconsent.com/2006/01/31/palestinian-mormon-on-hamas-and-the-wall/ A Mormon Blog Tue, 14 Feb 2012 20:31:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Seth R. http://bycommonconsent.com/2006/01/31/palestinian-mormon-on-hamas-and-the-wall/#comment-48653 Thu, 02 Feb 2006 00:17:21 +0000 http://www.bycommonconsent.com/2006/01/palestinian-mormon-on-hamas-and-the-wall/#comment-48653 I heard a Palestinian interviewee offer a similar theory on an NPR “Morning Edition” interview.

Kind of like when I hit the “Add My Comment” button and almost immediately wish I hadn’t (only quite a bit worse).

Thank you Ronan for posting this, and thank Sahar for offering it. Truely, thank you.

This is an amazing window into the situation in Palestine.

We here in the American church are so pampered temporally and spiritually we spend more time questioning who has the power & authority. You make the answer clear. God has the power and will give it and his authority to anyone who has faith and needs. Like Jesus of old you walk in and out of Jerusalem unseen. You remind me of what they said about the Savior:

“And they were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.”(Mark 1:22)

The Savior was fair in dealing with men and women. He often deferred their praises and thanks back unto themselves by simply saying, “Your faith has made you whole.”

Sahar IMHO your faith and example is helping to heal the gap between the men and women in this church. What and why are we always crying about?

How nice to cross paths with you again – we were in BYU 14th Ward together about ten years ago.

Your stories are always gripping and interesting.

But I’m wondering, if the government is democratically elected, can’t the people, via their representatives at least, appeal to the government to comply with the demands of the foreign governments in terms of their denunciations of terrorism? I don’t understand why the people have the power to elect, but seemingly nothing more.

I really hope things work out, but can’t say as I personally see a way.

Wow! You are a very impressive young woman. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us.
