I suggest you spend some time with both peoples in the region. I have read alot about both peoples that I would categorize as untruths.
Interesting, how long did you spend in Israel and Palestine?
Hi Johanna,
Thanks for your response and I am sorry for taking so long to respond myself- life gets in the way.
I had two issues with the interview: 1. the use of terms that promote only the Palestinian view the conflict and 2. the use of meaningl...
I saw the broadcast was actually really happy to have something related to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict on his show- I am also a huge fan of the show and Jon Stewart. I hope he has a lot more guests from all sides of the conflict because there...
Claims like: "trying to kill as many Americans as they could... what hope does the world have they won't continue to kill innocent children?", are not allowed on this site from or about either side or any group. I am not debating any claim. I am a...

Animation short on the Gaza blockade
From Haartz: http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1068622.html
An animator of the celebrated Israeli war film "Waltz with Bashir" has illustrated a new film depicting the life of a fictional boy in the Gaza Strip during the Israeli blockade of the coastal territory.
Yoni Goodman's short film "Closed Zone" runs only a minute and a half and was created for the NGO Gisha, a group devoted to freedom of movement.
A spokesman for Gisha said that "though the use of a single animate… Continue

Arab reaction
I am writing this post while the war in the Gaza area is going on but I plan to only post it after the violence has stopped. I understand how violence and war brings out the emotions in both sides and that is the issue I want to discuss.
In the interest of understanding and venting, I will be brutally honest, blunt and offensive: I have a problem with the way Arabs react. I am directing this to Arabs not to offend you but to understand. I don’t know how else to explain it but I find the way Ara… Continue

- Hey Corey,
I just created this website for interviewing people on the subject of the the Israeli-Palestinian conflict- Since you are also doing your thesis on a similar topic, I would be happy to share my responses with you.
Here's the site:
http://mysite.pratt.edu/~jberg356/thesis/index.html
I will create a discussion here on mepeace to incite people to submit their responses.
Hope all is well,
Justin

- Hi Corey,
My MA program is for Communication design- digital/graphic design. So for my thesis I decided to use modern branding tactics, social networking theories and regional semiotics/symbology to give this cultural conflict a new identity. I use the word "rebranding" relatively loosely because it obviously doesn't already have a brand. But it does have an image that can be reshaped. I hope to empower people to strive for peace by immediate visual stimulation- posters for example. However the hub of the campaign will be a website with interactive elements to promote people to share there ideas much like mepeace.org. www.Hopenhagen.com is an example, though much more neutral of an issue.

fesalk411 said… - A True Story By Faisal Al-katib
I am a Palestinian Arab from Hizmeh, a village between Jerusalem and Ramallah. When I was 15 years old I fought against the Israeli Occupation in search of freedom. At that time I thought every Jewish person, whether soldier or citizen, man or woman, young or old, should be killed. I rejected the right for any Jew to live and every Jew was a target. I was just a kid, believe me, and I didn’t understand anything about politics or the Arab-Israeli conflict. I was arrested and sat in jail for 12 years. This was during the first intifada from 1987. At that time nobody talked about peace but only of violence. I matured during my time in jail. I started studying and reading books on politics, literature, poetry, and about the Madrid Conference.
It gave me hope to live in peace and dignity. I learned that violence only breeds violence and that peace is the only solution for the two nations, the only way for both to have a respectful and beautiful future. We live on the same land. We are neighbors. We drink the same water and both pray to a monotheistic God. We must live in peace on the basis of religion for God and land for everyone.

- ok i will tell u but in brief because it's a big storry. i was working in isreali market in beir sheva suthern part of israel . during my job i know many people i was talking with them all the time iwas eating with them and they share me my good and bad times. in that time i forget that he is an israeli or she is an enemy
we just were talking as human being . that's the truth we are an human being we need to know each other , to feel each other not seeing the blood every where , we need to teach our children how to teach peace in to sides not to teach them how to hate each other .finally , believe me or not there is a place for all on this land.

Oliver,
I did not see Genevieve accusing Neri of propaganda. She said he SOUNDED canned, like the Hasbara handbook, meaning that this was HER impression. She was talking about herself, not Neri.
But I see what she means. When Neri replies to my ...
Hey, he accused me of hate and then went on to accuse me ever so manipulatively of being a Palestinian (like that would be a bad thing!?!), which I am not, how about addressing his projections?
As for propaganda, if I see Hasbara in his words, an...
Geneviève,
accusing fellow members of propaganda is against the guidelines of mepeace.org (Point 9):

I urge you to observe the guidelines and engage in constructive debate.

I never mentioned the Hasbara handbook, it is you that brought it up just now.
Although, your answers sound canned, exactly like the instructions in the Israeli propaganda handbook - the Hasbara handbook:
