2016 is a year that many people would happily forget. The ugly US election, the war in Syria, the series of deaths of much-beloved celebrities – there were more than enough reasons to wish 2016 would just end.
However, for American students studying medicine in Israel, 2016 was also the year in which Israeli hospitals reminded the world that Jews and Arabs can work really well together.
For years, Israeli hospitals have cultivated coexistence alongside their everyday healing activities. It's not just that, faced with the enormity of death, medical staff and patients have learned to set aside their differences. Rather, by interacting day in and day out with patients and staff from a diverse range of backgrounds, hospitals have become sterile, hopeful, bubbles of actual coexistence, enabling Jews and Arabs to truly connect.
2016 was a Great Year - At Least in Israeli Hospitals
