Both Palestine and Israel are today winners for exchanging prisoners. Unlike many I am not going to go into the 1 to 1000 plus prisoners’ ratio, the inequality, the justice or the politics behind it. Because, to me, this exchange is a sign of goodwill (at least I hope and pray that it is) and a step on the right direction. The two nations should today be proud, celebrate and capitalise on this exchange. They should aspire to build on its benevolence the lasting peace citizens on both sides long and crave for, Mazel Tov and Mubarak!

The loser is Dale Farm Travellers – a very baffling and confused bunch of people. Who for years fought to be accepted as Nomads only to now turn around and fight for the opposite! Their futile and puzzling attempt to have their cake and eat it too, has undone all the support and respect they struggled years to achieve and that makes them big losers!
