  • Huh, I wonder why.

    We do not know exactly what will happen on the ground, not only for our community, but for the entire population. We can only repeat what we have already said: There can be no future based on captivity, displacement of Palestinians or revenge. We echo what Pope Leo XIV said a few days ago: “All peoples, even the smallest and weakest, must be respected by the powerful in their identity and rights, especially the right to live in their own lands; and no one can force them into exile.” (Address to the group of refugees from Chagos, 23.8.2025).

    This is not the right way. There is no reason to justify the deliberate and forcible mass displacement of civilians.

    It is time to end this spiral of violence, to put an end to war and to prioritize the common good of the people. There has been enough devastation, in the territories and in people’s lives. There is no reason to justify keeping civilians as prisoners and hostages in dramatic conditions. It is now time for the healing of the long-suffering families on all sides.

    (Blue unicorn flips onto Charlie’s back and starts bouncing on him)

    BLUE UNICORN {Jumping onto Charlie’s back}

    Noooo, Charlie. You have to come with us to Candy Mountain.
    

    PINK UNICORN

    Yeah, Charlie, Candy Mountain. It's a land of sweets and joy...and joyness.
