12 years ago it all started. Be'er Sheva was bombed and I exploded internally too.

Life stopped, people were scared, hatred appeared, I could barely work, the state promised compensation but on average five years showed me that it was even more profitable ... and with the money of the taxes I gave they bombed Gaza in my name.


I felt anger and helplessness and decided that I was not waiting for the government to bring peace - I am going out to bring peace!


After a meeting of Israelis and Palestinians in Beit Jala, I saw and felt that it was possible. There I met friends from Tarkumiya and a week later all our family spent the whole of Shabbat in Tarkumiya.


At the Pictured below there are 3 kids of which one is mine.

Without language, without knowing first, they ran together in the city streets, laughing, having fun and proving to us that it is possible.

Can you identify here on whom to affix the label "Israeli" "Palestinian", Jewish, Muslim .....?!? For them it was just fun to play together.

Since then I continue every week and the truth is that especially during this period I want to thank all my friends in the southern Hebron Mountains who remind me that sanity is only in our hands.


May it be a normal year for all of us.

love, Eyal Shani
