RE: The ravaged palace that symbolises the hope of peace, Palestinian businessman is rebuilding his home after it was caught in the crossfirehttp://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/the-ravaged-palace-that-symbolises-the-hope-of-peace-2266960.html
Dear Sir,
Good to see the story on the hope of peace for Palestine: I quite agree with the Palestinian businessman Albert Abu Zgheibreh who actively helps nurture a better way forward by clearly stating: "I'm building for the future and for my family. I hope now there will be peace. It's enough. For the Palestinians, for the Israelis, for everyone, peace will be better."
I very much hope that a viable sovereign and fully secular Palestine can emerge as a real nation state living in peace alongside a fully secular Israel, respecting the rule of fair and just laws- and basic human rights on all sides of every border.
Sincerely,

"Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home - so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the world. Yet they are the world of the individual person; the neighborhood he lives in; the school or college he attends; the factory, farm, or office where he works. Such are the places where every man, woman, and child seeks equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity without discrimination. Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerted citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world." Eleanor Roosevelt
