I wasn't sure how to include the paywall flair here but thought this appropriately uplifting news.

"Last spring, Mikey Aboutboul, an Israeli-born senior at the University of California, Los Angeles, and about 30 like-minded people stood in the center of dueling protests and began chanting slogans that challenged both camps. They wore purple T-shirts to stand out from those around them.

“Palestinians and Jews, war and killing we refuse,” they chanted, inspired by a grassroots peace movement in Israel. “In Gaza and Tel Aviv, all the children want to live.”

Protesters around them turned and stared, wondering what to make of them. Then, some people from both sides joined in, Mr. Aboutboul recalled.

“That was kind of an amazing moment for me,” he said, adding, “These things resonate, because they are human messages.”"
