It's not all bad...

Just saw this story in the Jerusalem Post.

Palestinians from the village of Tuqu' on Tuesday helped rescue a Jewish resident of the nearby settlement of Tekoa and her 4-month-old son after their car overturned on the main road of the village...

The man added that he did not hesitate before rushing to the aid of the woman, despite the feelings of enmity between settlers and Arabs.

"The human concern overcame any other feeling, as well as the feelings of enmity and hatred that the settlers arouse in the area," he said.

The village is the site of frequent clashes between Palestinians and IDF soldiers, as well as stoning attacks against Israeli vehicles.

Earlier I had blogged about A Good Deed Repaid with Hate. Just goes to show... there are good people everywhere and some sort of peace between people with little in common and conflicting demands and needs is possible.

Here's to One Love! Jah Bless! Pray we find a way to replace anger with love and acts of hate with loving kindness.
