Growing up, I always thought that seeing UN cars around and soldiers was normal.... Figures out it is not really!!
When 4-5 years ago, Cypriots had to take a hard decision that would have ended the status quo that I have lived all of my life in, it was obvious we were not ready to do so. Everything I've learnt to know seemed bogus at the time.
At that period I took the decision to learn more, not to take things for granted, to re-start a personal struggle of self discovery, to face the truth, to confront fear and prejudice, to reach to others and my own self, to live with others in my island and around the world.
Why I want peace:
Because I don't want fear
Interests and activities:
Listening to the radio, wasting my time, travelling
Something you didn't know about me:
I am starting to like not knowing what I'll be when I grow up
How I found mepeace.org:
Through Eyal
What I want to achieve here:
Meet people
Do you promise to respect others and our guidelines and not spam?

Hello
How are you I hope you are well my name Imad from Gaza Strip and want to connect together and thank you for your stance in support of peace
my email malkax@hotmail.com
I am glad to have met you here. I have sent you a request to be my friend and to have you in my list of contacts.
It is not nice to live in a country which is divided and with UN soldiers to keep peace. I have known this state of affairs here in Germany before the demolishing of the wall in Berlin and the opening of the frontiers, I would prefer barriers, not only between East and West but also in the minds of the people. It will another decade or two before those living in East Germany will grasp the Germany is united. It could be the same in Cyprus or am I mistaken? You can contact me, if you so wish, under sairally@cityplannersarchitects.de
Wish you a nice and enjoyable Sunday. Kindest regards.
According to the website Raida is organising the volunteers. I think the details are still current.
It was good to read your personal reflection on growing up in Cyprus. I remember meeting some Cypriots at Neve Shalom who came for the School of Peace.
Ohad, you are aware no doubt of the intense frustration and resentment of the Arab world and many parts of the Muslim world at our presence here. This leads to a culture of hatred, which these societies have no right to do, but nonetheless they do.…
