Israeli academics, journalists, political activists and former diplomats who advocate for peace between Israel and Palestine based on the two-state solution.
In Berlin, with my peacebuilding partners Ilan Baruch, Ashraf al-Ajrami, Tahani Abu Daqqa, and Judith Reisenauer, not only advocating for peace but demonstrating that reconciliation and friendship are possible NOW. It really is time.

Still smiling at the end of a tough but worthwhile conversation at the German Foreign Office with Jeorg Walendy, head of the Near East Division @ForeignOfficeDE
This morning: full page ad in @Haaretz by @PeacePartners24 signed by 58 Israeli and Palestinian human rights and peace organizations titled "Stop The War". "This war too will not bring us security. We, the organizations of the “Peace Partnership,” call for an immediate end to the war. This is a war of choice that endangers us all. Our government chooses again and again endless war that causes loss of human life, destruction, and pain with no future and no political solutions. Only eight months ago they declared that the “Iranian threat” had been eliminated for generations. They lied to us then, and they are lying to us now. This attack and the crimes against the Palestinian people that continue under its cover will not bring security. In Israel, Iran, Lebanon, and Palestine there are frightened parents and children who only want to live. Only a joint struggle for a just peace, based on the rights of peoples, can bring real security to all the inhabitants of the region."
