The Children are our Future

With Raphaela ill today and at home, and the fridge in a desperate state, we went to the supermarket this afternoon.  While waiting at the check out line, a little Arab girl, slightly older than Raphaela, came over and spontaneously gave Raphaela a toy.

I have always maintained that the end of the Middle East Conflict lies in education reform for the youngest generation, on both the Israeli and the Palestinian sides.  When the newest group of souls sees each other as people rather than life-long enemies, perhaps there is a chance for change and room for optimism.
