'Why are men so angry that they kill children to get what they want?' Rami Elhanan is an Israeli, Bassam Aramin is a Palestinian. Both live in Jerusalem, both grieve for daughters killed in the conflict. And somehow they fought off the urge for vengeance...

Lost children ... Bassam's daughter Abir, who was killed aged 10, and Rami's daughter, Smadar, who died at 14.

"Before we lost Smadar, we thought everything was fine, we didn't think about what else was happening. Our family was well-off and happy. And when it happened, at first, every inch of your body cries out for revenge. But you ask yourself: would that take away my pain? And you know it would not. So instead you start to ask, what is happening here? Why are men so angry that they are prepared to kill children to get what they want?"
