Sorry to pick exclusively on your comment, but why the snark? Many of the comments here are just that. Not only does that not add to the conversation, it sends the message some people (Israelis) can't say some things (a positive message towards another people in this case) without getting flak. I think we should celebrate such manifestations, and not react with irony. I'm quite optimistic about the news. I think it has the potential to be a great first step of many.
