BLOOD and Gold is not a story about the attack at the 1972 Olympics; it’s a revelation of what truly happened beneath the surface. It’s a story of lies, corruption, racism, Nazism, geopolitical maneuvers, missed opportunities, and concealed truths—particularly within the media. These hidden forces didn’t just impact the events of 1972; they devastated individual lives and fueled a cycle of violence and oppression. My book brings these secrets into the light, challenging the narrative that has too often been taken for granted, and offering a call to change the course of a world spiraling toward destruction.
At its core, this book has a multifaceted mission:
- A Call to Women Worldwide: I’m reaching out to every woman, urging them to raise their voices against the killing of innocents in the name of peace. Dominance and elimination do not bring peace; they leave only the ashes of future wars, where the innocent—women and children—suffer the most.
- A Reclamation of Rights and History: BLOOD and Gold asserts the Palestinians’ right to their land. It honors the Nakba, where villages were erased, homes destroyed, and families shattered before the eyes of children. It is a testament to their enduring struggle and a call for justice that acknowledges decades of suffering.
- A Warning for Humanity’s Future: We are at a tipping point. If the world continues to support conflicts like the one that has persisted for seventy-seven years—or any other war—one impulsive act could trigger a domino effect that threatens all of humanity. This is not a distant threat; it’s a very real possibility, and we must choose peace before it’s too late.
The message of BLOOD and Gold is clear: we must embrace peace by means other than violence. We, the people, must demand that our governments take responsibility for securing peace—not through weapons, but through education, cultural respect, and the universal right to life. Together, we must teach love and empathy for every individual, regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation.
Only by embracing our shared humanity can we hope to create a world where peace is not a distant ideal, but a lived reality.
