When the birds of the air were created, then was
liberty created together with adoration, created
and programmed into evolution. But it was about
the year 30 after the birth of Our Lord that liberty
truly began to flower.
Yes, you are all equal, men and women, rich and
poor, the healthy and the sick, taught Christ. However,
it was not until the 18th century and the French
Revolution that the Rights of Man were formally
proclaimed and Man’s liberty affirmed, liberty
to think, to love and to act and so to make our
civilisation.
But it needed only the briefest space of time in
the 20th century for the barbaric spirit of evil,
of crime, of hatred, to make the tranquil village
of Khiam in South Lebanon, nestling among the olive
trees, the vines and the fig trees tended by its
solid, hard-working peasants, into a prison camp
worthy of the Nazis and evilly reputed for the tortures
and suffering inflicted on its inmates. There the
occupying forces imprisoned and tormented their
fellow humans come from the same stock of Abraham.
- The Israeli Air Force
destroyed the prison during the 2006 Israel-Lebanon
conflict.
