CNN
CNN's Christian Amanpour heard about a very old Jewish man who had been going to the Western Wall to pray, twice a day, every day, for over 60 years.

So she went to check it out. She went to the Western Wall and there he was walking slowly up to the holy site. She watched him pray and after about 45 minutes, when he turned to leave, using a cane in a very slow fashion, she approached him.

"Pardon me sir; I'm Christian Amanpour from CNN, What's your name?

"Moshe Fishbein" he replied.

"Sir, how long have you been coming to the Western Wall and praying?"

"For about 63 years."

"63 years! That's amazing! What do you pray for?"

"I pray for peace between the Christians, Jews and the Muslims. I pray
for all the Wars and hatred to stop, I pray for all our children to grow
up safely as responsible adults, and to love their fellow man."

"How do you feel after doing this for over 60 years?"

"Like I'm talking to a fuckin' wall."

1. Maybe if the world conducts several dozen War Crimes trials,
this man would have his prayers answered.
Not funny, I know. But that is what needs to be done.
