Thanks, Adamvietnam, for that link. Nadia's reply to the BBC is along the same lines of my own thoughts and posts here.
I probably should have done a better job of misquoting Shakespeare's Shylock. Not just inserting the words Israeli and Palestinian.

And perhaps been stronger in rejecting parallels between snipping ribbons and killing children.

I hope too that more than a handful of people may have followed my link to one of Peter Beinart's short videos. He is a religious American jew who is thankful that Israeli hostages have been returned and the bombing of Gaza has stopped.

Peter Beinart also insists that Palestinian lives are equal to Israeli lives and do not deserve less.
I would ask HoL members to view and reflect on the points Beinart makes. Not necessarily to agree with him. Beinart has posted several recent short videos I recommend.

Also I'd ask HoL members to think hard on the answers Nadia Yahlom gives to the BBC.
Let's listen more and even empathise more. We may find our own judgements slowly growing a little more cautious, better informed and - who knows - deeper and wiser.

The BBC website now has a recorded interview with Nadia Yahlom. She is fairly but persistently challenged by the interviewer and - at least in my view - she gives thoughtful and informative answers.
