For the tenth consecutive year Combatants for Peace hosted a joint Palestinian-Israeli memorial ceremony "honoring the victims, fighting for peace" in Tel Aviv. As violent and racist extremism grows and death tolls rise, the will to mourn together is important as we acknowledge and oppose the occupation and its reality of asymmetrical power. Thousands came to mourn together, listen to beautiful music, and hear from speakers including members of the Parents Circle - Families Forum, made up of Palestinian and Israeli bereaved family members. The venue was so full this year that some couldn't get in.
Note: These photos were taken with an older phone. Apologies for the low quality.

The words over pictures is a cool idea for story telling. Maybe make them larger. Things are good in Michigan. Kim and I are visiting Montreal this summer. Keep it coming. Hope you are well man.

Thanks, Sam! I couldn't make the thumbnails any bigger without spreading them out too far, but the full size ones after clicking on them are maybe too big considering how low res these photos are in particular. I am glad all is okay over there with you and Kim! I am well!
