Good Jewish News? Israeli-Palestinian Antarctica trip: An Israeli-Palestinian team has left the southern Chilean port city of Puerto Williams and begun a joint expedition to Antarctica. The four Israelis and four Palestinians, who include Israeli mountaineer Doron Erel, are scheduled to reach the South Pole Saturday. They are sailing in two boats. They plan to climb a 2,000-meter-high mountain, as an example of Israeli-Palestinian cooperation. On reaching the summit the group will collectively name the peak and conduct a short ceremony.
