Profile Information

My personal story:: I want to bring Compassionate Listening to our lives here in Israel/Palestine. It means being able to listen even to things which frighten or anger you. I believe that the only way for us to move toward peaceful coexistence in this region is for us to be able to listen to the stories of "the other side" - to acknowledge that we are all in this together, and move forward together in respect and understanding.

Why I want peace:: Who wants more suffering, death and fear?????

Interests and activities:: Playing guitar, singing, reading, origins of religious beliefs and sources of scripture, other cultures (especially Bedouin), animals, political international relations (not necessarily in this order)

Something you didn't know about me:: cancer survivor

How I found mepeace.org:: a mutual friend

What I want to achieve here:: I want to support the activities of others on this site, and I want to find people who are interested in listening to "the other side."

Do you promise to respect others and our guidelines and not spam?: Yes
