The two previous photos are from the checkpoint outside Bethlehem where thousands of Palestinian men queue before dawn everyday to go to work in East Jerusalem.
This one is from a checkpoint outside Nablus where these children and their father were trying to go shopping one Saturday morning.

But it would be wrong to think that it is all scenes like these. The next picture shows Palestinian and Israeli children playing together (a very rare event), even more remarkable is that all these children have lost a relative in the conflict. They had the opportunity to meet at the Parents' Circle Summer camp, there is not enough space to fully describe the wonderful work of the Parents' Circle but please read more here.

Thank you for these photos,what greater contrast could there be? They remind me of George Fox - "I saw that there was an ocean of darkness and death, but an infinite ocean of light and love that flowed over the ocean of darkness."
In Friendship,
