Investigative journalism is one of the media’s most powerful tools. The Monitor has done its share. But we also offer a twist.

Read today’s story by Dina Kraft about Israeli Jews and Palestinians coming together to fight for one another’s humanity and safety. Ask yourself: Have I seen anything like that anywhere else? Other news outlets often ignore such stories or cordon them off as “good news.”

We know they are much more. They are the seeds of a different future, and they could not be more important. We might have to dig a bit to find them. But that’s a different – and equally important – kind of investigative journalism.
