One of my strongest childhood memories relates to the first Lebanon war in the early 1980s. I was seven and my father returned from an extended period in Beirut, sporting a beard and a shirt emblazoned with a green tree and red stripes. He pulled an orange glass giraffe out of his backpack along with Swiss chocolate and a letter in French written by a Lebanese girl who was my age. As an Israeli army officer, he had been living with the girl’s Lebanese Christian family in Beirut, and the girl had wanted to send me a message of friendship and hopes for peace.
