As the world watches, the Israeli and
Palestinian conflict continues to occupy the news. Hardly a day
goes by without news of bombings or retaliation. Despite the
occupation, bloodshed, and destruction, voices calling for
moderation and peace continue to surface. Some Israeli soldiers
recently refused to serve in the occupied territories, and
Israeli citizens took food to Palestinians. In another case
Israeli and Palestinian children attended a summer camp
together. The children went away with new views and appreciation
for each other. The children said they would not forget their
new friends and suggested this type of event would go a long way
to healing the wounds of conflict.
Because of your interest in this region, your group has been
asked to research the issues and make recommendations that will
bring peace. |
