Not only did I get a chance to connect with MEPeace.org founder Eyal Raviv, but I also met Mitchel Plitnick and other peace activist writers at the 2nd annual JStreet convention at the Washington Convention Center in Washington DC. The first day's session, Saturday, featured many inspirational presentations including by JStreet President Jeremy Ben-Ami and by award recipients that included journalist Peter Beinart, Israeli activist for Palestinian rights in Sheikh Jarrah Sara Benninga and…

I am always amazed how each side always blames the other but never assumes blame of their own. How many Israelis write me and tell me the Palestinians teach their children hate, and never acknowledge that they too teach their own children hatred of the worse kind. Hatred taught by people who are victims is more anger. hatred taught by people who are the victors is unmotivated by anger and is more hatred. Continue

Shalom, Salam.



Hi everybody, I am a co founder of a new organization named Orthodox Jews for Peace.

Our mission is to educate, and express, everything that is taught in the Torah on Peace.

We believe the notion that the Jewish and Palestinian peoples are inherently incapable of coexistence is a mistake.

This mistaken idea has been promoted at times inadvertently and sometimes purposefully by politically motivated individuals on both sides.

Our experiences coupled… Continue

Confronting the extremists is as important a necessity as it is building dialogue and support among Israelis, the Jewish community and the West. It is a FACT that the pro-Hamas bias in the Arab World media and the rejectionist views of many of the activists leading the fight for the rights of Palestinians are doing so not to achieve peace but to 1) reinforce Hamas as the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people and to prevent peace based on two-states.



The people of… Continue

Marking an ‘American’ Arab Christmas in ’09



By RAY HANANIA



My mom was so proud when we joined the Joneses and purchased an aluminum Christmas tree in 1962.



It glistened in the light of the three high beam spotlights of green, blue and red. I’d sit next to them as a kid and melt the plastic toy soldiers on them, much to my mom’s chagrin who was more concerned that I’d burn my hands.



Fake Christmas trees. One job. One home. One wife. That was the mantra… Continue

There is an answer for everything. We can deny each other as often as we want. It's easy to do that because we know that if, as aPalestinian, deny Israel, then I know there will be a segment of Palestinians who will cheer me on. It also is comfortable in our history to deny Israel.



It is the same for Israelis. They can deny palestine and Palestinians because there is a segment in their communityw ho will cheer them and praise them and give them personal satisfactionf or saying what… Continue

JERUSALEM AND THE TEMPLE MOUNT

The First Temple was built by King Solomon in seven years during the 10th century BCE in 957 BCE. It was the center of ancient Judaism and has remained a focal point for Jewish services over the millennia. The Temple replaced the Tabernacle of Moses and the Tabernacles at Shiloh, Nov, and Givon as the central focus of Jewish… Continue

Thousands of years before the Romans invented Palastina the land had been known as Canaan.

The Canaanites had many tiny city-states, each one at times independent and at times a vassal of an Egyptian or Hittite king. The Canaanites never united into a state. After the Exodus from Egypt probably in the Thirteenth Century BC but perhaps earlier; the Children of Israel settled in… Continue

It is so ironic that a Japanese person, from a country we and our allies defeated when they were allies with Germany, wrote so brilliantly about the fatal problems that have been facing Israel since the end of the war in which they were allied with those who wanted to annihilate Jews!



If you are so sure that Palestine, the country, goes… Continue

I believe that the Jewish people established itself in the Land of Israel, albeit somewhat late. Had it listened to the alarm clock, there would have been no Holocaust, and my dead grandfather – the one I was named after – would have been able to dance a last waltz with grandma on the shores of the Yarkon River.



I am a Zionist.



Hebrew is the language I use to… Continue

Historically, Jews were regarded as a “people of the Left”. This reflected the Left’s support for Jewish political rights including the establishment of the State of Israel. However, in more recent decades, Jews and the Left have… Continue
