But what about the people on the other side of the wall- where Israeli soldiers can come and go as they please and arrest children without any rhyme or reason? Palestinians have not been able to feel their children are safe for decades. We cannot oversimplify what is happening, including the history of failed agreements between Palestine and Israel. Many of these agreements did not give Palestinians autonomy and never clearly called for Palestinian statehood.
I do not have the answers, but I will continue to educate myself and surround myself people of all religions and backgrounds because the conversation needs to always be happening. We are not safe and free until we are all safe and free! Blessings to you both.

This is the first conversation I’ve heard which honestly expresses all the complexities of the situation. Thank you Rabbi Joseph.
