It is similar to the other stories I have heard of the Palestinian families whose lives were disrupted in 1948. If only the world or more pointedly the American people could know the other side of the story maybe there would be a better opportunity for true peace and a new Palestine. I have always loved and admired Peter with his ever present smile and laughter and love of his family, especially now his grandkids. Thanks Tanya for the idea and creation of ‘My Olive Roots’.
