I came across this quote today and thought that it was so very appropriate for this site. PLEASE share it with everyone for it rings truth that we all need to be reminded of everyday."When a person makes peace, it touches persons. When persons make peace, it touches people.

"A True Story By Faisal Al-kateep
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…"
I am married, have one daughter, one son-in-law, one grand daughter, and one grand son on the way! I have been an educator for 32 years and I look forward to retirement.
Why I want peace:
I believe that world peace is obtainable if people would stop teaching their children to hate others just because they are different in some way. We need to focus our energies on the ways we are all alike. We need to have acceptance for the thing that makes each of us unique, and that is our differences. I pray for peace in my lifetime!!
Interests and activities:
I love to swim, do yoga, knit, and spend time with my family.
I hope that I can be a friend to others on this site, to help dispel myths about people, cultures, or differences. I hope that we can grow and grow the amount of people belonging to this group. For every member we obtain, there is a greater chance for PEACE!
Do you promise to respect others and our guidelines and not spam?

A True Story By Faisal Al-kateep
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.
