Mr. Bylsma travelled to Libya last year and had a chance to hear first hand the Arab view on the situation situation in Israel. He then returned returned to Canada and played a vital role in organizing organizing Durham Christian High School's "Special Emphasis Emphasis Week", which was held February 8-12. The topic of the week was "Healing "Healing the Brokenness in the Middle East". "Almost our entire source of information on the Israeli Israeli crisis comes from the media and very rarely do they give us the Palestinian side. What we must do, and what we tried to do at the conference at Durham Christian High School is to be open to both views." Mr. Bylsma told the Rotarians at their February 18th meeting. He explained that the public perception of the Palestinians is fogged by the violence that is often associated associated with them. Most of the violence, the speaker claimed, comes from the extreme extreme groups of the Palestinian Palestinian Liberation Organization Organization (PLO). "The extremists are in the news all the time. We never hear anything about the moderates. The ones that could actually help heal the brokenness," he said. Mr. Bylsma believes that if the western world showed a greater interest in the moderates of the Arab and Jewish causes, they both could gain the "upper hand" and help bring about peace. "The Palestinians want a place to call their own. They have always lived on this land and the Israelis took over. What they want is their land to be liberated again. The problem is some are willing to compromise and some want it all back. We need to encourage those willing to make concessions," concessions," Mr. Bylsma stressed. The West Bank of the Jordan Jordan River and the Gaza Strip have been the stage for beatings, killings and arrests. arrests. The speaker explained that it is no longer possible to decide who is wrong or right, who is the victim, who is the terrorist. terrorist. To resolve this cyclical battle they need help from the outside, concluded Mr; Bylsma. The speaker was far from optimistic that a solution would be found tomorrow. tomorrow. But he maintains that bringing to the attention attention of the world the "whole" situation in Israel can only help spur the two participants to strive for peace.
