It is heart warming to read of the steps towards peace that the Jewish Voices for Peace and Justice group and the Palestinian group were able to achieve together - the sharing of meals and stories - the willingness to listen. I am sorry that it is so difficult for more public demonstrations of such good will. I have attended many rallies for causes that I believe in and have been appalled at the anti-Semitic sentiment expressed at some of these by people whose political and social ideas are otherwise very similar to my own. It does make it difficult to support events if you know such negative sentiments are going to be expressed.
