A Peace of Jerusalem: Revision Notice
The document is the result of a collaboration undertaken between October 27, 2009, and August 7, 2010, involving approximately 300 people from different countries and regions of the world (including Israel, the West Bank, Canada, the US, the UK, France, Lebanon, Iran, Kenya, Germany, Jordan, Australia, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, India, Russia, Pakistan, Italy and others) each of whom contributed their own ideas, beliefs and opinions to the project.
Exactly 55 Years, 10 Months
Fifty-five years and ten months. That’s precisely how long the Korean Armistice lasted.
Today, Kim Jong-il, North Korea’s insanely fearless leader, declared that his country is abandoning the armistice agreement that terminated open hostilities across the Korean frontier on July 27, 1953.
If you ask most people when the Korean War ended, they’ll probably tell you that it was some time in the 1950s. That, of course, would be wrong. The Korean War never actually ended; it was only suspended by the aforesaid armistice agreement — which Kim, in his questionable judgement, has now declared to be void. A de facto state of war now exists between North and South Korea.
In less than a month (on June 25th) the conflict will officially turn 59 years old.
What to do? Very little. The ball is now in China’s court.
Will they choose the DPRK over the UN, as they did in 1950?
I don’t think so.

it calls me on
resisting
it calls me mad
in swift passing
gives me pleasure
yet sad
more sad
than missing
the little things
that to others
bring happy tears
are the many
misspent years
forgotten
while striving
to be remembered
thinking
altogether too much
such is time
and time is such
a bitter — yet
in the living of it
sweet — pill
swallowed up whole
in guilt
and mad raving
travesty
that i cry
no not i
never
