Atar Maor 30 It’s okay to speak And closets are for stuff The kids wake up in the morning and speak quietly : The 6 - year - old : “Why didn’t the good people from Gaza come to help us ? ” All their lives I’ve made a point of telling them that there are good intentioned people there too, Those who don’t fire rockets or incendiary balloons at us . The 8 - year - old : “Maybe it was too dangerous for them . How would others know if they were good or bad ? Maybe the soldiers would fight them . ” Me : “Maybe they could’ve come with a tiny flag with a heart on it, so that they’d know they were coming to help, with love . ” IF WE'LL BE 31 Silence, thinking . The 8 - year - old : “Maybe they should add a heart to the Israeli flag . ” And for the duration of the conversation, a reality in which hearts can exist is created .
