Peace in our time?

Mrs E. spent the day attending a workshop on non violent confrontation in a local Kibbtuz school. When I went to pick her up, we gave a lift back home to Abu Amir, a local Sheikh who is interested in these things. He invited us in for coffee and the inevitable food served by quiet and obedient daughters. A fascinating person his Grandfather fled in1948 to a shed on the family lands where he, and his descendants stayed ever since. Now there are forty families living there including two Jewish families who rent property in the village that grew up.
He has no bitterness or hatred for anyone. His sons and daughters speak a Hebrew that is better than most Israelis, are Doctors, dentists and lawyers.

They hope to get connected to the electricity supply in a few weeks.
