Please watch this short video of Israelis living in Sderot, one of the towns most frequently hit by Palestinian militants’ rockets, role-playing Palestinians living under occupation. It starts out depressing, and by the end, has a kind of excruciating beauty to it.

I wish I could thank all the people involved here personally.

/ November 24, 2012Very touching, thanks for sharing. What this world requires is more empathy and less apathy. I really like your articles too.
Just sharing something with you which this post reminded me of, though not very well written
There’s much to gain not much to lose
to walk a step in my enemy’s shoes
learn where they pinch, where they bite
where they’re loose and where they’re tight
his hurt’s now mine I feel his pain
changing shoes was not in vain
for lost is hatred and enmity
I am just left with empathy
