Courage to love your neighbor is the answer...

The courage to love your neighbor as yourself is a difficult thing to do - in Israel or at home... and yet that is the solution to society's problems.  On the flight home from Israel yesterday I sat next to a Jewish woman from Russia who had immigrated to Israel 50+ years ago.  She now has a green card, as she said, "good for 30 years" to the United States.  She referred to the Palestinians as her cousins since "we are all the children of Abraham".  She offered no answers to the war only that they were fighting with their cousins...

From my perspective, as a visitor to Israel, acknowledging our common ancestry is a step in the right direction...
