Having read much on Israel and Palestine, I would like to offer only this.
It is truly tragic that the rift between peoples of the middle east bar even individuals with a common love for music from developing friendships because of predjudice and 'peer-pressure'. Predjudice is a learned thing, as anyone can see by watching children play.
Once upon a time, parents told their 'white' children not to play with the 'black' children(and some vice-versa). Only the parents thought there was good reason, while the children had no such feelings, until there were told to have them.
If children are the future of the world, and represent purity of feelings, (tantrums aside) we should all learn from them, rather than imprint upon them. (To a certain degree)
