(Dunn (NC) Daily Record) Jennifer Laszlo Mizrahi - As Israel makes these painful sacrifices for peace, more than 4,000 children will have to move to new homes and schools. Businesses, farms, and places of worship will be abandoned. And 48 graves - several of them from people killed by terrorists - will be dug up and moved. All of the land, businesses, and farms will be turned over to the Palestinians. Israelis hope that Palestinians will use these assets to produce jobs and hope - and not become a staging area for more suicide bombers and rocket attacks. Soon, more than 9,200 Israelis will hear a knock and the greeting "Shalom." To them it is goodbye to the homes, friends, and communities they have lived in for decades. Hopefully, the knock will be on a door opening towards peace.
