Wednesday January 23 through Saturday January 26

Four cold and sometimes rainy hours. Each day there were two people to begin the vigil, and four or five at the end. We had some interesting discussions, about an article from Harper's magazine discussing the Israeli elections and particularly the strongly pro-settlement party HaBayit HaYehudi and about local reactions to the Windows and Mirrors art exhibit in the Concourse Gallery of the Memorial Union. On Saturday a young man from Oman stopped to have his picture taken with a peace sign in Arabic.
