(Hat Tip: Judeoscope)
Here is a snippet from a student (with Palestinian ancestry) who visited the holy land and describes his overall trip while visiting the kosher state.
(Adam Dalifallah) Israel is a fascinating country. Its people are friendly, knowledgeable, westernized -- and most of all, tolerant. They have an amazing sense of purpose and resilience in the face of daily threats to its very existence. That's something no other country really has to grapple with, and I think it takes visiting there to fully understand the feeling of what that's like. [...]
As someone who thought he knew a fair bit about Israel before going there, I came away with a sense that I really didn't know the half of it. I think it probably takes a visit there to truly appreciate the nuances and intricacies of this country.
After all the terror and the two intifadas, it was amazing to see and hear so many Israelis still so committed to peace and willing to do just about anything to achieve it. If the Palestinians and their leadership would truly recognize Israel's right to exist tomorrow, I have little doubt a state would follow very soon.
My thoughts regarding Israel exactly. But alas, most people would rather turn a blind eye to all of this. That is one of the reasons I decided to start this blog.
