What a terribly profound backstory. Patient and thoughtful.

Thank you for relaying your visit to Jerusalem, and for your remembrances of the Palestinian, Jewish, and Christian experience in the region.

I found it particularly moving to read:

"When the people here live together in peace like brothers, it will be wonderful."

Perhaps if Ismail's sentiment was shared more broadly across the globe, we might conjure a peace unlike anything seen before.

There is an undeniable hope where there is kinship.

Thank you again for sharing,

till next time,

Thanks Lisbette. It's such an engrossingly interesting city with all the best and worst aspects of humanity constantly on display!
