🕊️ Yair Bunzel, an Israeli military veteran and passionate anti-war activist, recalls the harrowing days of the 1982 Lebanon War. \"Every war is brutal, and civilians are always paying the price,\" he shared. \"Every dead, injured and mentally or psychologically hurt person is a damage for generations, not just the person himself.\"
Despite the shadows of his past, Bunzel remains hopeful for a brighter future between Israelis and Palestinians. \"In the end, you have to shut down the fire,\" he emphasized. \"Shutting down the fire means, you sit with your enemy and you really search for a solution… I'm absolutely sure that Palestinian nation and the Jewish nation will find a way to bring peace to Jerusalem and actually to the whole region.\"
His message is clear and inspiring: \"Don't look back. Look where you're going.\" 💫 A call to both sides to focus on building a peaceful future rather than dwelling on past conflicts.
Bunzel's poignant words resonate deeply, especially among the youth yearning for change. His belief in dialogue and understanding over warfare offers a beacon of hope in a region longing for harmony.
