Thank you, Steve! I am especially chilled and heartbroken by your conversation with this so-called rabbi who does not believe that Arab women mourn their children in the same way. To me this speaks to one of the true hearts of this conflict, this belief that somehow as Jews, we are so much better than these other people. The myth of Jewish superiority. Heartbreaking.

Thanks Steve. Your story really encapsulates what a terrible and complex place we are in. So many have set aside their humanity out of fear and separation.

Great writing and so sad and complicated and endless it seems. Yay for the upcoming election! Wish it was sooner.
