Uri Avnery has been hospitalized 2 days ago in critical conditions acc. to Haaretz. Whoever reads this: please make a prayer (if you're religious) ... send positive vibes ... read a Puja ... whatever your believes are ... for a speedy and total recovery! Thank you!
What a beautiful and compassionate personality who deserves our undying admiration and respect! Would the world have more "Uri's" it would definitely be a much better place and peace would not be just a faint hope in the far distance. Words are not enough to praise him, his dear wife Rachel (R.I.P.) and their achievements as well as their heroism in the face of extremists and hard-liners on both sides. They showed such a determination in pursuing what they believe is the only right way forward. Dearest Uri - from the bottom of my heart I wish that many more years are granted to you and you can continue your struggle for a just peace in the land of our religions. May you live to see your dream come true that the two people live in true and just peace. All the very best to you!!
It was wonderful to be there. Packed to suffocation,I sat on the stairs it was like sitting at his feet in an amazing bubble of excited admirers. The kind of admiration a pop star can expect for a minimal contribution to society,his was for the enormous impact he made all of his life and his principles and humanity.A privilege indeed.
Uri Avnery - a true light unto the nations. What an extraordinary man with such foresight and compassion. Would that he was emulated by every Israeli. Thank you Uri for all that you have done.
Wendy Orange Depends on your perspective. He is on the extreme left, went to Lebanon during the 1982 war and met with Arafat which was a huge risk. Those aren't the marks of the most sane person. Brave, yes. sane, no. I am an Israeli and I don't agree with all his views, but I respect him tremendously and all he has done for our country.
