 A CNN reporter went to Israel to cover the fighting. She was
looking for something emotional and positive and of human interest.
Something like the man in Sarajevo who risked his life to play the
cello everyday in the town square.
In Jerusalem, she heard about an old Jew who's been going to the
Wailing Wall to pray, twice a day, everyday, for a long, long time.
So she went to check it out.
She went to the Wailing Wall and there he was! She watches him
pray and after about 45 minutes, when he turns to leave, she
approaches him for an interview.
"Rebecca Smith, CNN News. Sir, how long have you been coming
to the Wailing Wall and praying?"
"For about 50 years."
"What do you pray for?"
"For peace between the Jews and the Arabs. For all the hatred to
stop. For our children to grow up in safety and friendship."
"How do you feel after doing this for 50 years?"
"Like I'm talking to a fucking wall."
