If the adults on both sides don't get a clue, the kids in those photos are the next generation.
I told Willy over a PM yesterday when I symbolically walked away from this. So did a good friend of mine who is Palestinian, and after we wanted to kill each other and learned to see each other as humans, we concluded in 1984 that we would be here. Both are coiled in a deadly embrace and nobody gives...I don't want to think about it.
As you probably noticed, not taking sides, just pointing out that both sides are raising the next generation.
The Israeli kids are too young to get it, they will in a couple of years. Funny it was one of the few group photos I could get, that was not behind an https site. The Palestinian kids are old enough, and that also took some work. There were photos of a single toddler over debris. But to make the point, I wanted group photos.
These are the precious ones that the pattern needs to be broken for. We don't...well, those kids will grow up to fight each other. We will be having this same conversation in 20 years.
