I have to agree with this. The thing that strikes me most when I'm in Israel - which is the same thing that's struck me when I've been in Palestine - is a profound disrespect of each other's religions. What I've also learned is that young people think very differently from those in power right now. If there's hope for a settlement between Israel and Palestine, it will come from the young generation. Sadly that's not going to happen tomorrow. But it will happen, I'm convinced of it.
