I had a good natter with a guy in a clothes store in Bethlehem this afternoon. He seemed genuinely interested in my thoughts on ‘the situation’ here, although his own prognosis was pretty bleak: “If you speak to Palestinians and go deep down there is just pain. They’re pushing us and pushing us. I think there will be a war." Later he added, "My father lived the life I live, and my grandfather, and his father. I hope my children don’t have to.”
I couldn't help think of the conversation I'd had with an Israeli woman on the flight over. Apparently, "Israel's wonderful. Every day is like a party."
