I'm attending a conference of GVO contributors and editors.

Last night, following a memorable Lebanese meal, a Palestinian and an Israeli spent two hours talking while walking very, very slowly from Edgeware Road to Paddington. They had a frank and sometimes emotional conversation. It was difficult - and it was also cathartic. There are many issues still to be resolved and the dialogue will continue.

More details will follow.

Meanwhile: Please, please do not feed the trolls. Resist the temptation! Let them hear the echo of their words. If they have a conscience, they will feel shame. If they do not, then it is impossible to reason with them - so why bother?
