Israeli-Palestinian confrontation

To do with a group or as a visualisation.
‘I am like you’.
An Israeli leader is placed in front of a Palestinian leader.
Behind the Israeli leader, several victims of the Jewish holocaust are placed and further back, in front of the victims, the perpetrators, those who killed the Jewish victims, are placed, one perpetrator in front of each victim.
Behind the Palestinian leader several Palestinian victims lie down, and further back, in front of the victims, the perpetrators are placed, the ones who killed the Palestinian victims, so that there is one perpetrator in front of each victim.
Open your heart and take them all equally, the Palestinians, the Israelis, the victims and the perpetrators, into your heart. And then look into the distance, into a distant and inaccessible light, connect with the ‘yes to everything as it is, yes to everyone as they are’. And then wait, without intervening, just connected with the YES from a distance.
