- My personal story:
- In 1999 I founded a Peace Organization entitled: IFLAC : THE INTERNATIONAL FORUM FOR THE LITERATURE AND CULTURE OF PEACE. We have two main websites in English, as well as two in Hebrew, Spanish and Romanian. You are invited to visit: www.iflac.com
and www.iflac.com/ada
- Why I want peace:
- I was born in Cairo, Egypt, and at the English school I attended in Zamalek, I had a best friend, Kadreya who was a Moslem. We were the editors of the school magazine, entitled THE RAINBOW, and its motto was" TO CREATE BPEACE ON EARTH. It was ironic that instead of creating peace we became so-called "enemies" for thirty years, when the Jews of Egypt were turned away. Since then, I have dedicated my life to promote peace between Jews and Arabs, Israelis and Palestinians, through bridges of Culture, Understanding, Respect, and Communication. I firmly believe that the majority of the people on both sides want peace and that we have to understand and respect each other to promote peace and to abolish wars in our region.

The sting of all problems between Israeli and Palestinians lays in the Old City of Jerusalem. Her status has to be solved in such a way, that all parties fighting for control over her can agree upon.
On June 24, the ‘Big Hug’ will be hold in Jerusalem. Light workers from Israel, Palestine and from all over the world, ‘Lovers of Jerusalem’, will come together to bring warmth and energy to this city, embracing holding hands the Old City. If we bundle all our positive energies and bring these to Jerusalem, we can create peace to this exceptional place.
We are organizing the Big Hug to make the people aware –especially the Israeli and Palestinian inhabitants of Jerusalem- that there is a very shaped perspective for the city of Jerusalem as a city of peace: a new, undivided Jerusalem, as the capital of Palestine, Israel and at large.
Let go of the conflict concerning her command and dedicate the city to the Omnipresent. The Old City as a whole is His Temple. To give the walled Old City free to God, as a "Status Apart”, as an independent city, will be the most feasible way to come out the current impasse.
The Old City of Jerusalem must become an open city; a House of Prayer for all the Peoples. This perspective is written down in the Holy Books, this is the perspective we, as ‘Lovers of Jerusalem’ embrace as well as solution. But how many people does already notice this hopeful point of view?
What I saw in Jerusalem and also everywhere else where I meet Islamic and Jewish people is, that not so many persons really think about a future for Jerusalem. Most of the time, they stick with old ideas that the Old City of Jerusalem will always remain a part of Israel, or in opposite, that it will be absolutely a part of a new Palestinian state, as stolen land that has to be given back. With these visions, a future Jerusalem will be a divided city with an East Palestinian and West Israeli part, with barbed wire and checkpoints in between, like the situation of the city from 1948-1967. Or, coming closer to an agreement, people suggest -like proposed in the “Geneva Accord” in 2003- to make a complicated dividing of the Old City in a Israeli and Palestinian part. That will mean that the small alleys will be split by walls and barriers too. The idea that a future Jerusalem will become a divided city, is something that we have to prevent.
There are living about 250.000 Palestinian and 500.000 Israeli rather close together in one city. Do they want to make a separation of Jerusalem in parts or do they choose, deep in their hearts, for unity? So my best friends, it is our task to inform the whole city that there is an alternative for the Jerusalem of today.
All lovers of a united Jerusalem will come together to encircle and embrace the Old City of Jerusalem with love and devotion. We have to encourage all inhabitants of Jerusalem to join the coming Big Hug, with the idea of a New Jerusalem that might be realized with their support.

Nice to meet you.
A professor of Conflict Resolution and Peace Literature?
Maybe you should be made our PM to help reolving this conflict.

Thank you very much again John for posting our 3 IFLAC PAVES PEACE VIDEOS.
I hope everybody on the MePeace list sees them. If not, can you please do so?
To Eyal,
Is it possible to make MePeace more technically friendly?
I have difficulties in reading my messages or to answer to Eyal for suggestions. I would like to suggest a daily Digest - Newsletter covering peace culture progress in the Middle East and all over the world, like we have at IFLAC. Then we all get to see it, and learn from it, and not just our own groups of "Friends." Thanks for your good work to promote peace. I hope mys suggestions above can help. Shlaom - Salaam, Ada
i WOULD BE DELIGHTED TO TALK TO YOU.
ADA
thanks
