Science brings Israelis and Palestinians together

In one of the most divided cities in the world, one Palestinian scientist opens the first Nanotechnology Research Laboratory in East Jerusalem, with the help of his mentor – an Israeli physicist at Hebrew University – whom he says gave him opportunities even when Arab institutions wouldn’t.

Dr. Mukhles Sowwan says his cutting-edge lab, which is working to find a new treatment for cancer in two to five years, wouldn’t have been possible without the help of his Israeli professor, Dr. Danny Porath. Together, they prove that science is a universal language.

Such a pity that people around the world don’t see (cause no one shows them) the beautiful things that happening in Israel.

I love to hear things like this. I wish that instead of just news reports of rockets and incursions, we would receive more information like this from Israel.

Thanks for this!
