Alternative to peace

The last time I went to Israel we were told not to wonder because of bomb threats and everywhere we went it seems police was always in sight and driving with their emergency sirens. The tension and bitterness between the Jewish and Muslim population was unbearable. It seems that every country must make a choice side with either group of people, that will not resolve the issue or bring peace. Like the South Africans on chapter twelve, each group needs to come together in talk about the past violence, brutality and unfair treatment of one another even thought it means exposing many open wounds. Hopefully they will come to the conclusion, that continuing this way infinitely, will not stop the blood shed or violence. They need to come together heal the past, share the land, and set a great example for future generations.

Forum

There is three forum that I feel makes since for bringing people together:
The olympics in the spirit of athletic competition.
Music because it draws the audience and unites them with the musician to share their common love of harmony. Education because it brings people from all over the world together in the spirit of learning new information so that they can improve thir lives and the lives of others around them.
