I'm really tired of the violence in Gaza.
So, here's an article of how an 86-year-old Jewish surfing guru from Hawaii is bringing good vibrations to the impoverished Gaza Strip:
Dorian Paskowitz, a retired doctor who has been surfing for 75 years, donated 12 surfboards to Gaza's small surfing community on Tuesday in a novel gesture to promote peace between Israelis and Palestinians. (http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/G/GAZA_SURFS_UP?SITE=ILROR&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT)
He described his mission as a "mitzvah," Hebrew for a "good deed."
Mr Paskowitz said he has surfed for 75 years all over the world, and he ranks the waves off the Israeli and Gaza coasts as among the world's best.
Cool.
