OPENING MESSAGE for RECENT GATHERING OF PALESTINIANS AND ISRAELIS Every country needs an infrastructure. Water to drink, electricity to warm us, sewage to let the filth out. But what about the human needs of the people of our countries? Our need to love, to breathe, to work in safety and decency? Our need to live in an atmosphere of trust. Who will provide the human infrastructure? Perhaps it is we, the children of Gandhi, the children of Sulha, the people of peace. Maybe, together, we will generate the strength to overcome the waves of hatred in our societies. Maybe we can insist on creating peaceful, dignified solutions to conflicts, knowing that our countries' solutions can only be as effective as our people are humane . We are the future victory over hatred and violence. Our love is stronger than these days' fierce currents, sweeping our countries toward despair. We are the brave salmon, swimming against the current, leaping ever upstream, to finally arrive in tranquil pools to spawn our fertile eggs, the children of the future.
