Hate is the Choice We Reject
(Jerusalem Post) Sherri Mandell - Camp Koby and Yosef, which my husband and I created in the wake of our son's murder, this summer hosted almost 600 Israeli children who lost parents or siblings in terror attacks, or who themselves had been injured. At Palestinian summer camps, children are singing songs of hate, songs that will fill these children's hearts for decades. There is a chasm between the Israeli and Palestinian cultures, and though some want to ascribe it to politics, the tragic truth is that no political solution can dampen the flames of hatred that have been kindled in Palestinian society. Israelis are working to cope with their pain. Palestinians nurture theirs, inflame it, and worship it. The writer is the author of The Blessing of a Broken Heart.
