Marc Gopin replied to the discussion 'Uri Avnery : Quarrel on the Titanic'"Hi Sami, I have enjoyed your writing. I agree the Fateh's old generation is corrupt and anti-democratic but I am still hoping that they can be encouraged by the Palestinian population to reform and by outside donors. I still think they are a…"
Profile Information
- My personal story:
- I have been working in the Middle East for twenty years as a peacemaker, first in Palestine and Israel, but also in Syria for the last four years. I am a professor at George Mason U. in conflict resolution, I now write a blog, marcgopin.com. I grew up in a traditional Jewish household, and in first grade we raised funds at the day school and i got a certificate for planting one tree in Israel-at the hands of the Jewish National Fund. Memory is an interesting thing. It was probably a pine tree. Now i am interested in olive trees.
- Why I want peace:
- Because war between Israel and Palestine is the source of every sorrow in my life, and peace is the source of every hope and every reason i get out of bed every morning.
- Interests and activities:
- movies, helping people who i believe in, writing in cafes, meeting strangers
- Something you didn't know about me:
- i love to write to trance music
- How I found mepeace.org:
- haaretz article

There is so much chaos in Israel and Palestine right now politically and in terms of peace and violence that it is hard for those of us who know them intimately to keep it all in perspective. For today I just ask you to choose which Israel. I thought I had seen everything. Here is a scene of a senior Israel Defense Forces commander ordering a soldier to shoot at close range a bound… Continue

Aref Dajani said… - I enjoyed connecting with you at the Sulha benefit. I had never met Aaron before. I would have never guessed that Aaron would look so Mizrahi after knowing his father for several years! :O)
In what part of Silver Spring do you live? I grew up two blocks from Eastern Junior High School, just inside the Beltway at University Boulevard, within walking distance of the erstwhile Temple Israel. By the way, I define Silver Spring as inside the Beltway. I call everything outside the Beltway "Greater Silver Spring".
Cheers, Aref

- Thank you very much for the comment you left on my page. I really believe empathy is essential in peace-work, but it's probably the toughest thing to do.
It's not always easy to hear the arguments of the other and even harder to put oneself in his shoes.
And doing this with Hezbollah is actually very hard for me (things most people in mepeace do not realise), but I do it because I know that it's essential.

- Hi there Marc. Thanks for your contribution to my discussion. I realise that I forgot to respond to the very interesting one that you started recently.
Cheers Max.

- Hey, Marc. I wish we had the opportunity to talk one-on-one. Let's get together, one-on-one, and celebrate in advance the peace and reconciliation that is to come.
If you surf over to Rob Schrama's Comment Wall, I just shared a perspective you probably have not heard before, but is common among especially older Palestinians. It will make clear why Palestinian nationalism is a relatively new phenomenon.
Hope to see you soon.
All the best, Aref
