I had an impossible dream, Peace.

I had the honor of attending a dinner celebrating the Jewish New Year. I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere where we were free to exchange ideas. The idea most noteworthy was the Golden Rule,"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." This rule cited by Christ and in other religions was proposed to be the solution for World Peace. How would the Golden Rule apply to Israel and Palestine? I heard Prime Minister Netanyahu describe how nice he was reducing the number of road blocks in Palestine territory. If you were a Palestine, would you not want all the road blocks removed and Israel to stop building Israel settlements on Palestine land? Could Prime Minister Netanyahu have enough heart and be bold enough to not only stop the Jewish settlements but build housing for the Palestine people? If Netanyahu was bold enough to commit to such an action, would the Palestine people respond by not hating the Jewish population and reciprocate with a greater deed of joining together to build a Peaceful Palestine community? Is it not time for the Palestine and Jew to join together in harmony as brothers and build countries that share in peace and prosperity?
