Yediot Ahronot 19.8.2012
[Translation by IMRA]

SWEET HOPE

Those who came on Friday to the shopping centers in Judea and Samaria came
across an odd event: groups of settlers stood at the exits of the parking
lots, distributing candy to the Arabs and wishing them in Arabic "Happy
Holidays". Activists in "Land of Peace", a movement of settlers and
Palestinians acting for good neighborly relations, chose to advance this via
Eid Al Fitr, the holiday marking the end of the fasting of the month of
Ramadan. At the same time they distributed candy to Palestinian
construction workers at building sites. "They were impressed and praised
us" Yekie Fried, a resident of Ofra and one of the members of the movement
said. "Who knows, maybe hope will come from this."
