In 2015-2016, my kids attended Hand in Hand in Jerusalem, 1 of 6 Hebrew/Arabic schools working to create shared Jewish/Palestinian society. It was also the year of "Intifada of the Individuals,"— stabbing attacks & car rammings, on avg 3x day for a bit. Here's some of what I learned from the best:

Thank you for this.

Lee Gordon, who has been involved since their early days, has always been a source of wisdom. Hand in Hand is one of the true sources of light.

hope is a form of resistance

I like the piece vm. Thank you.
