I saw them speak at Clark University in 2004 in my hometown (Worcester, MA). I really enjoyed what both the Israeli + Palestinian speakers had to say and their attitudes towards the conflict. One thing that really stuck to me was when they both said "Don't be Pro-Israel; Don't be Pro-Palestine. Be Pro-Peace." And I agree with both of them, since the getting involved whole heartedly in both the Israeli and Palestinian nationalisms deter from the dialogue and peace proccesses by getting so wrapped up in them, indoctrinating each other to hate each other. The Palestinian guy had such a positive attitude on life and the situation, despite the grave environment that he grew up in. He claimed himself to be a "citizen of the world," since he had an int'l passport.
I would really like to work with them in the future, and would be very interested in bringing them to my college!

Dear all
highly i appreciate ur contribution to our (parents circles -families forum)
indeed we are Palestinian and Israeli used to meet from time to time to talk about peace and joined issues that related to coextended in our land .
despite pain and deep sadness that set in in our hears due to absence of our telative in violence action we are committed to live together in peace and non violence connection among our peoples.
Personally i lost my nephew when settlers had run over him it was very difficult event with, it broke our hearts.
From the first moment we have recognized that revenge will not solve our problem neither replace our sadness with happiness
so we turned to this organization.
so my role in this organization is to be facilitatoe for meetings and discussions between both palestinian and israeles i notice that participants in these discussions or grops become closer to each others .
i believe strongly in the power of collective thoughts and actions as moothods for changing things inisde us ans inside others
