A Palestinian and an Israeli, Face to Face

[Lily]

This is the best thing I've seen among all the best academics, pundits, politicians, diplomats, etc. that I've watched or read not only in the last 10 months, but in years.

I am moved by these two men, their stories and their willingness to open their hearts, as well as their minds.

What they say and what they've done is more powerful than the "smartest" of people around this issue.

It was humbling to watch and think about how shitty most of us can be.

Asshole is non denominational, ecumenical even.
