"We do not allow them the rights we claim for ourselves. That's the main cause for conflict." he said one evening in my garden here in Norrahammar. As a newsdetector for Washington Post and some TV-channels he is an insider and know what he is talking about. Last summer I had the honner to be invited to his wedding on the Judeean countryside. Armed guards patroled the surrounding hills to give the family ceremony a temporary peace.

The day after the wedding, at the beach party in Tel Aviv, I met Rolf Porseryd. He is a newsman for for Swedish TV4 and lost a cameraman in Afganistan the year before. "He just turned around and fell dying in my arms." Rolf said. We talked about the bloodshed that is increasing uncontollably around the world and found nothing that can stop it or even slow it down.

There is a lot of them on both sides who understands the hart of the matter. However, still they are far to few. The greate majorety follow the laws of hate and vengeance. Yet it is so simple. One little simple rule: ^"So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets" Matt 7:12. May it find breeding ground in many more hearts!
