Israeli terror victim to UNSC: Spread faith, tolerance and love
Three month ago, Renana, 17 witnessed her mother and her siblings were stabbed to death by a 15 year old Palestine boy. This is what she said at United Nations Security Council in New York on Monday to take steps for peace alongside her father.
“I never intentionally harmed another person. It never occurred to me to mistreat another human being just because she looks or thinks differently.
“I have never taken out my frustrations on people who have done something to me. I was not raised that way, I was raised to love the other, to respect all people, to love unconditionally and to see each and every person as a human being,” Renana said.
“It is hard to express in words how deep the pain is, how unbearable the longing is for my mother and how this longing breaks my heart and soul.“
Still, she said, “I do not hate or support hatred. No amount of frustration justifies hurting another person. With a broken heart we come here today to ask for your help. Help us create peace through love and help us all to see that there is good in everyone.”
