Hi Ohad, there is no need to apologize. I am not criticizing as much as saying: why don't we try a more positive approach? Wouldn't it be great that instead of one-sided propaganda on youtube we have stories of Israelis and Palestinians helping each…
I agree with you. Ohad There is alot more hate out there than we think. There is also alot of misinformation about Israelis, Jews, Arabs, Palestinians, etc. I am not a big believer in debate or arguing because it tends to make each side dig their he…
I see your point but I am telling you, as one of the Zionists you speak of that it is not true of me or most of the people I know. That doesn;'t mean it is not true for others.
Just because you copy and paste something from a web site from a meetin…
The chosen people is a biblical statement therefore it is a religious idea. I took this from Wikipedia so you get the idea: "In Judaism, chosenness is the belief that the Jews are a people chosen to be in a covenant with God. In modern day Rabbinica…
I am technically Israeli but born and raised in Canada. I moved to Israel and lived there 10 years as a citizen. I understand that Jews around the world view Israel as a part of who they are, a connection to their heritage and history and a major sy…
Zionism does not claim Jews are the chosen people- Judaism does. If anything, Zionism is the antithesis of saying we are the chosen people (which by the way is not a major belief in Israel- once again non-Israelis making false assumptions based on w…
"there are some things I will never give up"- speaking honestly, isn't that part of our problem? Each of us has red lines. currently the lines of both sides dont meet meaning my red lines for solutions go way over the Palestinian red lines for solut…

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

Justin Berg said… - 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.

I really do hope that an Israeli movie finally gets the Oscar. Waltz with Bashir deserved it - I was quite disappointed that Ari Folman had to go away empty-handed.
