I am always being told that Palestinians are bad, mean, and stole our land, but when I met Faraj and the other Palestinians kids, my thoughts really changed. When I saw those bullet holes, soldiers, and more bullet holes, my feelings changed. As I played soccer, ate food, and had conversations with Faraj and the others, I felt like how every Israeli kid should feel. I thought how every Israeli kid should think, and I wanted to help them. Their lives, their families, and their environment. But when I got back to West Jerusalem, I was still under Israeli control.

I like how you talked about how he was affected by meeting Faraj. I wonder what would of happend if they had not met but if Daniel had been educated differently about Palestinians.
