Today I am thankful for my freedom, the beautiful country we live in and how easy my life is. I have just finished reading 'son of hamas' and it has really impacted me like no other book ever before. It is written by one of the Hamas leaders sons, who worked for Israeli counter intelligence and ended up being disowned by his family when he became a Christian and revealed his double life. The life of this guy is really amazing. His position of influence in such a volatile time and place is mind-blowing. I have never really understood much about the Israel/Palestine stuff but now I gave a clearer picture-although I suspect there is so much more to learn! After reading the book I have been struck with how good we have it living in such a peaceful country, we really have nothing to complain about and so much to be thankful for.
