As we have deep and meaningful friendships and bonds with the State and the People and community of Israel, it does not mean that we cannot have the same with the people and community of the beleagured state of Palestine. Friendships work both ways. A sign of good friendship is respecting views.

Kelly: When I was flying in combat over Iraq during the first Gulf War, I didn’t expect that there was a 10-year-old kid sitting in South Africa who would one day become the richest guy in the world and call me a traitor for doing my job. Now, he kind of acts like a 12-year-old kid

In this world of deep polarisation and side taking, I find it a comfort when driving, to stop before a roundabout and make sure a pedestrian gets across safely. They may not always wave, but when they do, I get a chance to wave back.
