Hug Me Israel

We have both lost our people

Our land weeps in desolation

Grass has since gone

Replaced by dust and rubble

War machines still hover above

Our children innocent as they are

Hide in fear of attacks

I am Palestine and you Israel

Both have lost thousands

We have bled and still bleed

Our wounds are still sore

Hug me Israeli

Wish the past away

And make new ways

Hug me Israel

The time is now.

Hug me Israel

Come to… Continue

Meetings with Palestinian Advocates of Nonviolence - February 21-21, 2010

http://gandhiking.ning.com/profiles/blogs/meetings-with-palestinian

On February 21, 2010, I returned to Israel and Palestine for a four-day visit at the invitation of the U. S. Department and the U. S.Consulate in Jerusalem. It was my first trip to the region since 1991 when I had spent most of my time in Israel as part of a delegation of African-American leaders who were… Continue

Peace Education Resources: The Olive Branch Teacher's Guides

Over the last years, I've worked with Seeds of Peace Educators--Israelis, Palestinians, Jordanians, Egyptians, Indians, Pakistanis, Afghanis, and Americans-- to collect peace education resources: tools, best practices, curriculum, and reflections on the work that we do.

So far, we've published four issues of The Olive Branch Teacher's Guides. Please take a look. Please use these resources and send them to friends and colleagues who might also find them useful (we have hard copies,… Continue

Gaza Needs a Peace Stimulus: History Shows the Power of People-to-People Contact

Here's something that my friend Aaron and I wrote in Jerusalem coffee shops back in January 2009, during those terrible and surreal days of the Gaza War.

Obama: Community Organizer and Chief (recommendations for making peace)

http://www.alarabiya.net/views/2009/10/20/88703.html

Here's an article I wrote late in 2009. As I read the latest news about Jerusalem, the stalled peace process, and the fall-out surrounding Biden's recent visit, I think of what I wrote here. I think it is relevant, still. . . . .

"The science of peacebuilding deserves a seat at the table when it comes to… Continue

What Will It Take To Cut A Deal?

President Abbas and Prime Minister Netanyahu may soon embark on yet another round of peace talks between Palestinians and Israelis. Each leader, in his own way, faces daunting challenges, in part because he must answer to ideological constituencies which are vehemently opposed to the concessions which are part and parcel of the peace process. Netanyahu, for example, will face an uphill fight convincing his right-wing coalition to compromise on Jerusalem. And in a similar vein, Abbas could be… Continue
