成人快手

成人快手 radio 4鈥檚 book of the week this week is by Sandy Tolan, it is about 2 people who lived in the same house at different times, the house is in Palestine but since 1948 some people call the land Israel.
As a child in 1950鈥檚 Britain I was told that Israel was a country for Jewish people and that Arab people hated Jewish people, my brother鈥檚 first wife is Jewish and she told us Arabs were bad people who murdered children (yes she did and as she had been to Israel we thought well she must know).
In the 1980鈥檚 I started to hear that Palestinian people were evicted from their homes and the property was given to Jewish families, so I decided to do a bit of research and could hardly believe what I found out about the creation of Israel, I HAD BEEN LIED TO by adults when I was a child, by my sister-in-law and people were still LIEING.
In the 1990鈥檚 when I worked as a Maternity Nanny I worked with lots of Jewish families and learnt for the first time that many are anti Israel, anti Zionism and were ashamed and embarrassed at what was being done in their name.
I feel helpless, I have thought about creating Art that is not just pretty or nice but makes a statement and last year when I was working on my journal quilts it happened, I thought about showing one of these journals with this post but decided against it, I will show my journals in sequence and sadly this subject does not look like it is going to cease to exist any time soon.
The Lemon Tree is a view from both sides, thank you radio 4.
