Imaginary Friends

Two monsters, Dafi and Haneen, suddenly discover that they have at least one thing in common—love for their favorite foods. "Hummus! Falafel!" they squeal with delight. The crew of the first Israeli-Palestinian co-production of "Sesame Street" break out in laughter and delight, relieving the tension they all shared until this moment.

No one, neither the writer nor the players, suggest that this project will do anything to resolve the complex gridlock of deep-seated differences which have trapped these two people in ages of conflict. At the same time, the victims will never get any closer to peace unless they are able to imagine a peaceful future.

I scoff at bumper stickers that read, "Visualize World Peace," not because it's not necessary to do so, but because I fear that's where it will end. People who sell realize that making a call does not make the sale, but that unless they make the call, they won't sell anything.

So when it comes to human being trying to make a better world, it's not the power of imagination I now revere, it's the absolute necessity of it.
