I moved to Israel a year ago and am finding my feet.
Why I want peace:
Doesn't everyone? I want to be involved in doing something proactive, I want to challenge the fixed, narrow beliefs that so many Israelis I have met have. I would like the opportunity to meet people on the other side of the conflict, since I think this is the only way forward.
Interests and activities:
Singing....walking on the beach....discovering new places....great books....letting my hair down...
Something you didn't know about me:
I lived in Madrid before making aliyah
How I found mepeace.org:
Making beautiful music with Eyal and co.
What I want to achieve here:
Meeting people of different backgrounds, discussing ideas, making friends, learning from others...

Oh yes, I agree, we need to write more for Israeli media outlets as well. The comments just opened my eyes to the fact that for Israelis, it is easy to dismiss the sensible positions of J-Street purely on the grounds that they constitute an attemp...
Jerrold Cohen, you are correct. When Arabs or Muslims engage in violence against civilians it is labeled terrorism. When it comes to international politics we are the equivalent of black people of the 1950s in the US South or in Africa. We are gui...
I don't even understand what normal human behaviour and one of emotions has to do in peace process. If ever such a thing as " peace process " goes on and some sort of agreement is signed. Many of these emotions which pops up in conflicts in quite ...
"No trust - no treaty - no peace"
