There is so much tragic and terrible news out of Israel and Gaza these days. It can make one desperate for any sign of good news, for any sign of hope.
Good
news is hard to hard to find, but not impossible.
Like
the Roman Catholic Cardinal in Jerusalem who offered to exchange himself with
hostages held by Hamas. Jewish and Muslim women who are continuing to meet to
talk, despite the war. An American college bringing students together to talk
about the conflict. And a Canadian denomination issuing a statement against
antisemitism and Islamophobia.
You
can read about these bits of good news, and find links for giving to help
alleviate suffering in that region, in
my most recent column in the Free Press.
