We have two projects, one to help the hospital in Gaza and a hospital in Jerusalem. That makes us get close to each other. We're each doing something for the other side. That is what makes you get close with each other. You don't keep anything inside, whatever you have in your mind, you say it.
Friends take friends the way they are.
We have a lot of tools to help this group stay together. We know that coming together to reconcile is a long process, and it's the only thing that leads to a permanent understanding. But the times when you think you're deadlocked are the most important times to hang together. When we have a limited frame of reference, or an exclusive identification with our own clan or our own family, we get stuck. When we can expand our thinking to see how we're really interconnected and interrelated, we can exchange some of the things we cling to that we think are so important, for something that's better.
