In Hebrew Ben/Son and Banot/Daughter are rooted in the word Binyan/Building because the children build upon the past–even the troubled, rubbled past of Gaza, a place that use to be home to large Jewish and Palestinian populations for literally thousands of years. Even amid the rubble, children are constant optimists.
The perspective of a child is different from the rest of the world population because children have recently descended from heaven where justice is everywhere–it is why children universally complain that life is not fair. But, children because they are small and new to the world see brightness in the future; each one waves his flag into the heavens. President Eisenhower once wisely commented that the people of nations will make peace despite their governments.
The scene described in Gaza is reminiscent to the famous American novel Catcher in the Rye where a veery sincere young man sees himself protecting the children in the rye field from falling over the side. Should it be that their kites like prayers of peace should rise up into the heavens and bring down to the world peaceful resolution.
