A foreign correspondent, he meets up with some mellow Palestinian types, and they all while away the day over some innocent conversation and light delicacies. Read related story The whole experience is surreal. The Israel-Palestinian conflict does not come up. Settler and Palestinian disappear. It feels like an interlude from another era. Yet, it is now. It is peaceful. No one is hurt, physically, politically or emotionally. It did happen. Peace is possible. If only it could work from the bottom up.
