It's being reported that a Jewish boat has set sail and intends to land on the Palestinian controlled Gaza strip and deliver aid. Ever since modern day Israel was created following World War II, there has been a constant, steady conflict between the Palestinians and the Jews. One of the reasons there has been so much tension in the area is because Israel's Jerusalem serves as a center point for three of the worlds major religions (Christianity, Islam, Judaism). Fighting over who should have control of the city is just one of the many conflicts currently taking place. This act of genorosity from the Jewish people serves as a reminder that their are still those who think peace is a possibility between these two groups of people. Richard Kuper from the group Jews for Justice for Palestinians said "Israeli government policies are not supported by all Jews", "We call on all governments and people around the world to speak and act against the occupation and siege." Who knows, maybe this effort could spark a potential peace effort from the Jews and Palestinians.
