On our street, all the shops are closed.  No body is moving.

The Church of the Resurrection (Holy Sepulchre) with snow on the roof.  For the last two days we forgot about the conflict, the checkpoints, and all the rest of the hardships of occupation.  Children were out of school, businesses were closed, and people simply rested or played together in their respective neighborhoods.  It was a refreshing change that will not last.Img_0508

    "For those Israelis who are ready to make concessions to the Palestinians on territorial issues if they feel secure, it is important to understand the dynamic relationship between security and territory. Continuing to hold onto territories understood by Palestinians to be their future state will serve to lessen Palestinian performance in the security domain. In this respect the Zionist notion that building settlements enhances security is completely wrong. The continued existence and expansion of settlements on Palestinian land directly endangers the security of the State of Israel and Israelis."

    Israeli soldiers talk about the occupied territories. I've met several of these soldiers and their stories are compelling and sobering. They are bright, compassionate young men who love their country and want Israel to prosper and flourish. They also want the Occupation to end, as they believe that the Occupation is doing as much harm to Israelis as it is to Palestinians -- a view that I share.
