Good things are happening in Israel.
\nYou read that right. Alongside the horrific, the blockbrained, the mean-spirited, the mired, alongside the calamitous and the terrifying, the unjustly, inconceivably cruel, people are setting out, day after day, to do good.
\nI have trouble believing it myself. It’s as impossible to accept as, say, an Israeli bereaved by the conflict, getting together and drawing hundreds of volunteers among Israeli Jews, to drive Palestinians in need of crucial medical treatment, from the Gaza border directly to hospitals in Israel.
\nIt would take a comprehensive psychic reboot to accept this, to see the tiny, incremental, significant move of the needle toward the better, time after thousands of times. It would take a whole new take on the Holy Land to believe that this could affect change, or even trust that such a thing could be happening.
