Near the armed security check station that separates Bethlehem, Area A, from the suburbs of Jerusalem, grey doves search the green grass and rubble for food. They peck at an insect and fly up to sit on a chain link fence.
White doves, the symbol of peace, appear on signs all over Old Jerusalem and in souvenir shops on t-shirts, bumper stickers, and ceramic plates, often with the message "Pray for the peace of Israel."
In Palestine I saw a sign saying "Pray for the freedom of Palestine."
The same God hears both prayers.
