Tsunami Brings Together Israelis and Palestinians in Thailand
(AP/Ha'aretz) Yossi and Inbar Gross were spending their honeymoon in the Thai resort of Phuket when the area was overwhelmed by a wall of water. "We and this Palestinian couple jumped on the roof of this Ford van," Yossi Gross told Army Radio. "Below us was a raging river, a sea that washed up into the city and dragged everything along with it. Everything was wrecked." Gross said they stayed with the Palestinian couple from eastern Jerusalem on the van's roof for more than four hours before they were able to climb down. Later, the Palestinians gave them money and assistance that enabled them to get to Bangkok and board a flight for Israel, Gross said.
