Okay friends, Im officially losing hope in peace, so... Its time to act. If I dont do something now, who knows what will happen later. I have a little boy now, and I cant just wait for sething horrible to hit too close to home. This has gone on long enough!!! I truly believe that most normal people want to live a happy and safe life. I know there are fanatics who would kill and die for things like a bit of earth, but I dont think they are the majority. In line with Bertrand Russells the good life is inspired by love and guided by knowledge, I believe that there are two major focus groups I should be counting on to believe in a better future, or at least desperately want it: mothers and mathematicians. And if they are both, then even more so. I want to reach out to mothers across all ethnicities and religions, and ask them: Come cook with me. Please, come cook with me. Food is therapeutic and soothing to prepare, it nourishes us and the ones we love most, and it brings us together to cooperate in making a meal and to sit around a table to eat it. It will be fairly easy to make sure the food is both kosher and halal. This will be a womens only event, so we wont need to worry about issues of modesty. And we are all mothers, so we can actually bring our kids to get to know each other and play. I need Facebooks help of putting me in touch with like-minded women from the other sides - everyone who is not me. Israeli-Arab women, palestinian women, Druze, Bedouin, and of course the wide spectrum of Jewish mothers. It may not work, but thats no reason not to try. And in the worst case scenario, well all have cooked a lot of delicious food. You can call me a dreamer, but remember this: it is only the dreamers who make a true change in this world. Please spread the word!
