In reflecting on a recent dialogue on government and particularly in rethinking Rousseau's theory of greater equity and justice in simpler systems, I remembered a village I had read about in Palestine- Wahat (Oasis) al-Salam (Peace) or Neve Shalom in Hebrew. It's a wonderful example of how peace and cooperation is attainable, at least on a smaller scale, even in a place like Palestine/Israel. Maybe it's too good to be true...
