Reply #11: I am shocked and saddened by your views on this

I cannot wrap my mind around the idea that a Palestinian Youth Orchestra performing for a group of elderly Holocaust survivors would make you feel sick.

I do not see how you can talk on the one hand about the idea of a single democratic state where Israelis and Palestinians govern together sharing a single national identity while on the other hand feel sickened by even the most benign acts of kindness on the part of Palestinians towards Israeli senior citizens.

If there is to be any hope of lasting peace in the region, wouldn't it be a good idea to support any initiatives that help Isralis and Palestinians see one another as human beings rather than simply the enemy?
