I must add this to this post. I recently read a book called “The Lemon Tree” which is a true representation of a Jewish and a Palestinian family and how they came to value each other amidst the history and the current realities of the battle for control of the house and land that both feel a legitimate claim to. It is a powerful book and showed me (who is mostly ignorant of the details of this long battle) a side of the story that is never told in the United States.
P.S. I’m confused. Are you both “Lila” AND “mb4,” or are these two different people? If you are both, it sure would make my world a bit less insane if you’d pick one or the other and stick with it. 😉
MB4 is the way the comments are programed. I have to manually change it to Lila because I can’t figure out how to change it in the settings. So, sometimes, I don’t bother or don’t have time to.
BRAVO!!!
I’ve noticed that it is often only the young and the old who are willing to speak truth.

NonE – isn’t that the truth..
I’ve always wondered why I prefer talking to people under 30 and over 60. I’d give the lot in between a miss if I could.

That rules me out, LOL. I am advancing towards the target at a thoroughly unreasonably high velocity, however.

Thanks for the tip on the book.
Another good MP for such speeches is George Galloway of Bethnal Green and Bow.
