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…

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…

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

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.

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.

this picture is from the last war in Gaza, just I meant to remind all of you that we suffered too much from wars, we are looking for peace, it enough to kill each other, let's think in our future, in spite of that I will change it as soon as possible, cuz I feel sorrow when I see it, thanks for your advice.
