When people around the world hear the name Israel, some would be reminded of their loved-ones who live in the country or who are named Israel; some might think about religious and holy places they would like or already have visited before. But in my short experience, most people who hear “Israel” think right away about “wars”, “racism”, “Arab-Israeli conflict”, etc.

Today is Thursday, December 24 2009 – and I would like to tell you about something that happened to me today.
I went to school today (as I usually do). I live far away from my school so I have to take the bus. When school was over I went to the bus station as fast as I could because I wanted to get home quickly. Luckily I got there on time.
