| paying3tuitions, regarding the issue of Americans working in Arab countries: if no one ever tries, nothing will ever get done. If there were no American Jews working in Arab nations, the prejudices and lack of acceptance will never begin to erode. Jime Crowe laws weren't changed because someone threw up their hands and said, "Oh well. No way to help this. Let's just leave." You already addressed the issue: understanding. Not just on the Americans, but on the part of the citizens of the countries in which they are working.
I know I am young and idealistic, but I KNOW for a fact that saying there will NEVER be peace or acceptance gurantees that it will never come true. Saying that there will be doesn't guarantee it at all, but at least it gives a glimmer of a hope. |
