Sderot is the small Israeli city less than one mile from Gaza that Gaza militants have hit repeatedly with homemade Qassam rockets. I visited two exemplary human beings living there, Nomika Zion and Eric Yellin. They continue to speak out against certain policies of Israel they feel are damaging relations with the Palestinians. They are part of an organization that fosters personal contact between Israelis and Palestinians, Other Voice.
