War is the most terrible of troubles, through which sooner or later every nation has to go through. The famous ancient Roman poet Virgil called for “forging swords into sickles,” and today his words are more relevant than ever. Prayers for peace are now being heard from different parts of our planet, in particular, from the Palestinian village of Bilin. Sabiha Abu Rahmeh, one of the local residents, planted a flower bed using tear gas grenade blanks instead of pots.
The village of Bilin is located near the city of Ramallah, the temporary capital of Palestine. Armed clashes between Israeli soldiers and local residents take place here from time to time. Unfortunately, there are plenty of improvised flower pots at the battle site, Sabiha Abu Rahmeh selflessly plants flowers in them to show how a new life arises where there was only destruction and death.
The Sabiha Abu Rahmeh Garden is a kind of memorial in memory of all Palestinians who died in the battles for their land. The woman also lost her own son Bassem, one of the opposition leaders, to the war, who was killed by a tear gas grenade splinter fired by Israeli forces in 2009.
The land on which the flower plot is located was reclaimed from the Israeli government by the Palestinians two years ago. In the course of lengthy legal proceedings, local residents managed to change the trajectory along which the security wall was built. The villagers of Bilin were outraged that 60% of their territory fell outside the boundaries of the separation wall, they held weekly rallies, and, in the end, the government heard them. True, the rallies were often accompanied by the use of tear gas by the police, so that almost every flower pot in this sacred garden has its own tragic history.
