Who goes through
life without many self-revealing slips of the tongue? Who am I to forgive or
not forgive her? I forgave her for many reasons, one of them that far more
forgiveness will be necessary for peace in the Middle East to progress beyond
Secretary of State John Kerry's rendezvous with Israeli and Palestinian leaders
next week in Washington.
Some will say
that the enmity extends back to early biblical times. Others will recall the
days of peaceful coexistence between Jews and Muslims. Peace is always
possible, but forgiveness plays a strong role often.
Who on this day
will not forgive Helen Thomas for a senior moment in her eighties when she
contributed so much to her field and to feminism with such gusto and joy? Who
will not revere her and mourn her passing?
