A very nice post :)
But because of things i know, the last picture did not give me a good feeling.
For me israel have become a symbol of the opposite of what that comment say.
There is no respect for diversity in israel / Palestine.
(sorry for saying this, many of my friends try to tell me that i dont have to be so honest all the time.
But for me it is important to be, if i shall keep my integrity.)
We are all entitled to an opinion :) But I have more faith in people, not everyone from a culture or religion has the same view point as their government or leading forces. In fact, the person who sent me the photo is an amazing humanitarian for all, even though he was born in Israel.
That is true, and i also know a lot of people who came from Palestine and are fighting against the apartheid there. :)
So as you say, there is many good people who live there too. :)
