Is this the way to peace for Palestine and Israel?
Take a look at what some people are doing:

How would you create a brighter future for Palestine and Israel?
I’m part of the Sulha project…
There are many grassroot peace projects, organisations and movements in Israel and Palestine – we all try to do what we can to get together and learn/teach others that the "other", the "ennemy" is HUMAN as well, because both people have been brainwashed about the "other" being monsters for years and years…
Our main problem is exactly that – the effect of propaganda on the minds of too many people, and the incompetence (or maybe: non-willingness) of our governments to really bring peace to a conclusion… The people themselves want peace, but the leaders seem to be the obstacle…
To show you some of the many projects, organisations, even institutions that work for peace, I’ll give you some other links from a list of activist organisations I’m right now preparing for www.mideastyouth.org
