I was glad to find a peace pole at the Jerusalem Botanical Gardens.

A sign, maybe, that the peace pole is waiting to be replanted.

President Peres was in Jordan today for the World Economic Forum, which was dedicated to breaking the stalemate in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.
U.S. Secretary of State Kerry proposed a $4 billion economic plan to boost the Palestinian economy.
Our President Peres said Israelis and Palestinians “must depart from the skepticism that claims that war is inevitable. War is not inevitable. Peace is inevitable.”

"Peace is inevitable." I like that.
ReplyDeleteDo you think the flattened peace pole is a metaphor for current middle east peace negotiations? Perhaps the pole simply wasn't given solid enough foundations (to keep the metaphor going).
ReplyDeleteGivin' PEACE a chance, I guess.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, but the only way for peace is the one of Caesar: if you want peace be ready to war!
ReplyDeleteMore peace poles, please... and more peace.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of a peace pole before. It sounds like a great iniative.
ReplyDeleteLike it to be inevitable!
