A bit of a break from the conference today, as other interesting things continue to happen in the world! I will do my best to put another post up about my trip over the next few days.
In the meantime, a very interesting article from the New York Times on borders in the Holy Land. It is good for us to think about history - how this land came to be the way that it is today, where the borders have come from, and what they actually mean - what do they join, what do they separate.
Israeli Jews and Palestinians have much in common. Maybe — just maybe — one day the realization will dawn that the complicated, contested and highly lethal border between Palestinians and Israelis is separating brothers from brothers, and sisters from sisters.
