Cempaka Culture and Tourism: Gazan Arab Idol hero on triumphal West Bank tour

“… The Shift in Human Nature

You're starting to see integrity change. Awareness recalibrates integrity, and the Human Being who would sit there and take advantage of another Human Being in an old energy would never do it in a new energy. The reason? It will become intuitive, so this is a shift in Human Nature as well, for in the past you have assumed that people take advantage of people first and integrity comes later. That's just ordinary Human nature.

In the past, Human nature expressed within governments worked like this: If you were stronger than the other one, you simply conquered them. If you were strong, it was an invitation to conquer. If you were weak, it was an invitation to be conquered. No one even thought about it. It was the way of things. The bigger you could have your armies, the better they would do when you sent them out to conquer. That's not how you think today. Did you notice?

Any country that thinks this way today will not survive, for humanity has discovered that the world goes far better by putting things together instead of tearing them apart. The new energy puts the weak and strong together in ways that make sense and that have integrity. Take a look at what happened to some of the businesses in this great land (USA). Up to 30 years ago, when you started realizing some of them didn't have integrity, you eliminated them. What happened to the tobacco companies when you realized they were knowingly addicting your children? Today, they still sell their products to less-aware countries, but that will also change.

What did you do a few years ago when you realized that your bankers were actually selling you homes that they knew you couldn't pay for later? They were walking away, smiling greedily, not thinking about the heartbreak that was to follow when a life's dream would be lost. Dear American, you are in a recession. However, this is like when you prune a tree and cut back the branches. When the tree grows back, you've got control and the branches will grow bigger and stronger than they were before, without the greed factor. Then, if you don't like the way it grows back, you'll prune it again! I tell you this because awareness is now in control of big money. It's right before your eyes, what you're doing. But fear often rules. …”

Gazan Arab Idol hero on triumphal West Bank tour

RAMALLAH — The Gazan winner of pan-Arab talent competition Arab Idol, Mohammed Assaf, performed in front of some 40,000 fans in the West Bank town of Ramallah on Monday.

Crowds thronged a square near the tomb of Palestinian president Yasser Arafat with a heavy security detail present, along with ambulances as a precaution, an AFP journalist reported.

Assaf was greeted with cheers and applause as he came on stage, surrounded by policemen holding back hundreds of fans who wanted a photograph with the singer.

Before beginning his performance, Assaf spoke to the crowds.

"I am very pleased to be here with you, and with the help of God, I have done you proud," he said before launching into "Raise the Keffiyeh," a Palestinian nationalist song which refers to the traditional chequered headscarf made famous by Arafat.

Assaf arrived in the West Bank, which is governed by president Mahmud Abbas's Palestinian authority, on Monday afternoon, entering from Jordan over the Allenby Bridge. In Ramallah, Assaf laid a wreath on Arafat's tomb before meeting Abbas.

The singer is due to visit other West Bank towns Bethlehem, Hebron and Nablus.

On his return to Gaza, which is governed by the Islamist movement Hamas, on June 25, Assaf called for an end to the "division" with the West Bank, and urged "unity" between Palestinians.

Israeli legal rights group Gisha, which lobbies for freedom of movement for Palestinians, stressed that the singer's arrival was "exceptional not just because Palestinians consider him a national hero but also because it is an exception to Israel's consistent policy of blocking access between Gaza and the West Bank".

"If Assaf had been anything less than a superstar, he would have had little chance of setting foot in the West Bank because of the Israeli policy of restricting the voyage to 'exceptional humanitarian circumstances,'" Gisha said in a statement.

Born to Palestinian parents in Misrata, Libya, 23-year-old Assaf grew up in the teeming Khan Yunis refugee camp in southern Gaza before winning the 2013 edition of Arab Idol in Beirut.

His victory sparked scenes of jubilation across the Palestinian territories.
