    it’s such a relief to learn of such decency, rare as it may be, in the ranks of Zionists.

    Ruff, not every Jewish person is a subscriber to Zionism.

    But it is indeed heartwarming to see such an example of the diversity of people and their origins and religions on our side of the issue.

    I hope more people in this world, of all religions and ethnicities, learn from this person’s example.

    Sometimes, people need a reminder that there is always hope :)

    (These words are insufficient, but here’s an attempt)

    God gave us tears to release sorrow.
    God also gives tears of joy.

    Mine when reading this, are the latter.

    Peace, Salam, Shalom.

    I very much agree with Hamzeh, Ruff. In fact, I have a page on my site expressly addressing this issue. You can find it here if you are interested. In terms of the individuals, I’m no way near listing everyone, but I figure it’s a start.

    [Sabbah, I'm extremely sad about what is going on in Palestine. My prayers are with you all while I'm doing my utmost best to undo the misinformation here in Canada & elsewhere. It's not much but I guess every little help. Take care, too!]
