Life Skills & Moral Values - Schools Can Stop the Wars!

 Never before have we needed peace more, and all of us can play a part in making it happen. The programme aims to build an SDG 16 - Schools for Peace & Justice process to help protect the future of our children from becoming a world in perpetual war, on the brink of nuclear Armageddon, their lives being run by a ruthless totalitarian state military-industrial-governance elite. Millions of children are living under these conflict-ridden conditions already, and the situation is now exponential as the combined crises of Global Change – War, Disease, Hunger, Extreme Weather Events, Biodiversity loss, Pollution and Mental Illness converge on every nation state population 

   Learning Pack for Teachers: War and Peace in the Holy Land

This comprehensive learning pack delves into the complex history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, offering teachers resources to discuss the realities of war, peace, and occupation in the Holy Land. The materials present historical context, current realities, and paths toward peace, encouraging nuanced conversations in classrooms.

The "Schools Can Stop the Wars!" initiative was officially launched on October 7th 2024 - specifically aimed to counter the hasbara of the Israeli state that will undoubtedly put out information  making the Isreal state the victim, cite its endless Orwellian antisemitic Zionist rhetoric to justify its current genocidal ethnic cleansing of the Holy Land for the Lebensraum of Greater Israel. That can no longer be tolerated in the face of one full year of genocidal evidence in Gaza and now the West Bank and Lebanon. 

See the video  Archive of one year of documenting the ethnic cleansing, genocide and war crimes against innocent citizens, civilian women and cildren. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLx14-bCrZvE8m5la7UmtqEATP4rANOhvS

Join the movement and help schools become champions of peace. By participating in this initiative, students and teachers and your school can contribute to a global effort that challenges war, injustice, and apartheid.

With the Pope saying on 21st December this is not war it is cruelty and Christmas in Bethleham in occupied East Jurusaelm cancelled ...again, in honour of the great Christian ed ucation my mother and father gave me taught  in the spirit of Jean Baptiste de la Salle - I offer 

A Christmas Prayer for Palestine

Oh Lord 

I turn my eyes East to bow my head

 in your all powerful brilliance 

To ask you from my heart my head and my soul

Please grant mercy ,on the children of Gaza

Being butchered, tortured and starved in plain sight of all humanity to feel and see

In these End Days of human cruelty and atrocity 

I ask you please end the rule of selfishness, greed and violence in the hearts of 

all the powerful who lead us

Let us find loving kindness, compassion and care in our own hearts 

Make us true guardians of the Palestinian children 

And guide our right action to live equally, justly and morally in this Garden of Eden called Palestine.

Forever and ever

Amen/Aum

Please give this to your local priest, rabbi, imam, monk or religious leader to read out this Christmas. 

Share with friends and family to say at Chistmas lunch .

When you wish anyone a peaceful New Year share this prayer with them.

What is sad is that one year ago I wrote this Christmas allegory to describe the real and current horrors of the Zionist ethnic cleansing of the Gaza strip, where now 45,000 + civilian Palestinian men, women and children have been killed and 100,000’s more maimed and traumatised and now living as 2 million refugees in a colonial-settler concentration camp in front of our own eyes,  suffering torture, starvation and disease - being used as weapons of ethnic cleansing and genocide spearheaded by US, UK,EU fed Zionist capitalism..  

The Middle East Theatre of War is the money machine of Orwell’s  Nazi Fascist Totalitarian Empire of the Allies 2030 running our Animal Farm 2025, and the Palestinian ch;ildren being killed as lambs to the slaughter.  Our Animal farm will soon have its AI Security cameras, intelligence and drones will have us or our children all running from war-torn, run down corner to corner of their global apartheid billionaire Pharocrac, whilst the hog the Bitcoin Milk Eggs and HOney  It is heart-breaking to see the 100,000s of Palestinian children suffering in this story  come so hauntingly true by this Christmas. 

You can hear me read the Christmas Story last year and I have no need to change the message,  sadly …

There is a list of Schools can Stop the Wars! videos from Youttube that can inform you of how the horrors of Empire are now evidently denying the just equitable and prosperous world of Agenda 21 Civil society is working towars. Instead we have a security first World  where  Global Apartheid  = Zionism + Perpetual War x Armageddon : the Maths of  the Sustainable Development show us that only 10% of the 2 trillion global arms sales would support the implemantion of the SDGs and more. Follow Professor Jeffry Sachs and other champions of peace justice and strong institutions (SDG 16). 

We are looking to bring together educators who are conscious of the need to bring moral guidance through humanist values of kindness and compassion to school children and the families and stakholders in their education.
