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.
Thank you. When we were there 16 years ago our friends gave us the same message. There’s little difference between the ultra orthodox and the Taliban. You have wonderfully humanized the struggle.
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.

Thanks Steve for both these articles, sticking your neck out with your family and friends in Israel as well as here in Sebastopol. Much appreciated.
Keep writing, Steve. We need to hear from you. With much appreciation for your reporting, Sandy

Great writing and so sad and complicated and endless it seems. Yay for the upcoming election! Wish it was sooner.
Well written. Thank you
Believing is easier than asking questions, put prevents new solutions.
