Jerusalem is not only sacred to Jews; it is sacred to Christians because Jesus led his followers, with their demands for justice, into the city during the week of “passover”, and to Muslims because Mohammad went to Jerusalem before ascending to Heaven. The Government of Israel should build equal-sized apartment complexes not only for Jews but also for Christians and Muslims. It should also build a single social center for use by members of all three apartment complexes. Then it should require that only residents who are willing to live in peace with members of the other two faiths, and to make social contact with them, be allowed to live there. This would demonstrate to the whole world that persons of these three faiths, who claim a common spiritual ancestor, Abraham, can live together in peace.

Thank you State Dept and Vince for making this wonderful exchange happen. My son and I really enjoyed meeting the Gaza kids, who were so bright and thoughtful. It felt like a small, but concrete step in the right direction out of the seemingly intractable crisis that is Gaza.

My son Adam was involved as one of the students from BCC. Our kids were just as enriched by this wonderful meeting and we are blessed to be in an area where opportunities abound for our kids to learn about those from the wider world outside our boundaries. I am very thankful to Vince Murphy for extending this to our school!

"girls just want to have fun."
Sounds like they did, as well as an education.

I have often wondered why the rest of the world allows Republicans to run as a political party. I always thought Europeans had more common sense. They let the Republicans elect Bush and look where THAT got us! They should have tried harder to influence Ohio in 2004. Their halfway measures in that state kinda blew up in their face. A Belgian Commando at every polling place would have set things straight. That's the way REAL democracy works!
As for Canada, Bloc Quebecois shouldn't be allowed to run as a political party. After all, they speak French! Mon dieu!

I never understood the decision to allow Hamas to run as a political party. The Europeans have always been weak this way but I thought the US had a certain amount of common sense.
Between the then administration and State, this move was profoundly destructive.
I am left wondering if it was deliberate or the result of misplaced idealism.
Anyway I wish these kids well. With a Hamas government and UNRWA running their schools, they need all all the luck they can get.

That's a great program I think. But i think it's a little odd to mention Hamas as being a restricting agent and have no mention of Israel in the entire article. What do you think?
