Robi, an Israeli mother, ponders the possibility of meeting her son Davids killer, and cant help wonder how honest she is with herself in her quest for reconciliation. Can a person who stole the life of a womens child ever truly be forgiven? Is the dialogue between perpetrators and victims the key to ending the bloody never ending Israeli/Palestinian conflict? And can a glimmer of hope come from a place of unbearable pain? Recognizing the humanity in the other must be a recipe for ending the cycle of violence. Robi was born in South Africa and immigrated to Israel in 1967. Her son was killed by a Palestinian sniper. The first thing she said to the officers who came to give her the dreaded news of her sons death was you may not kill anybody in the name of my child. After the loss of her son, Robi joined the Parents Circle -- families forum an organization made up of more than 600 Palestinian and Israeli families who have each lost an immediate family member to the conflict. She is the spokesperson for the organization and is in charge of International Relations. Published on 29 Dec 2013
