Shelly and Batya, like Cindy said, there are good people in every race and religion. Unfortunately, though, these wonderful stories about Arabs aren't as frequent as we'd like. You're right, Rickismom, the Arab's educational system encourages the terrorism and the apathy of the world keeps it going. <br />Thank you, Jennifer Tzivia for including me. <br />I thank all of you for your comments.<br />Ester<br />Esterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11296357724681412234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-622079413049140167.post-52067022307701658462014-11-10T09:48:26.217+02:002014-11-10T09:48:26.217+02:00If the children of your "knight" are inv...If the children of your "knight" are involved in the intefadah, it could also be due to the education they get in their school.Rickismomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04078192111057725026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-622079413049140167.post-28692959631028814822014-11-06T01:19:54.998+02:002014-11-06T01:19:54.998+02:00I commend you for thinking of a positive experienc...I commend you for thinking of a positive experience with Arabs on a day where there has been another terrorist attack.

And when I worked in the bagel place I had an Arab assistant/driver for awhile.

I started pulling out the tools to change it. A lot of people passed by, but no one offered to help. As I was starting to change it an Arab man stopped and helped me. And in 2000, just a couple weeks before Rosh Hashana and the outbreak of the 2nd intifada, I was returning to Pduel from Mevoh Yericho, around midnight motsei Shabbat, and had just turned off Chotzei Shomron, after Ariel, into an Arab village, when my lights shorted out. So as I drove through this village, late at night, with two young girls, rather than just passing through unobtrusively, I honked every time a car came near me, afraid they wouldn't see me. As we reached a t-junction where I was turning to Pduel, a car coming in the opposite direction did a u-turn after passing me and pulled up next to me, gesturing for me to pull my window down. I did, figuring whether or not my window was cracked open would make no difference, and he asked where I was going. I told him Pduel, and he drove behind me up to the gate of the yishuv with his brights on so I could see and be seen. Just two weeks before the 2nd intifada started...Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08444647725731481144noreply@blogger.com
