Commerce has already started to kick in with Hi-Tech development and cooperation between Israelis and Palestinians. Now children's education must be addressed in an objective manner, with student exchange visits taking place. It's not only Barak and Arafat who need to share meals together - the children must also break bread together . This is a time for moderation and exercising reason.

If not for themselves, then for future generations. We both come from the same father - Abraham. This must become a real and lasting peace between people, not just governments.
