Talk Matters - Jews & Arabs Together

Peace Work in War Time - Building Up Trust for the Next Generation. Delighted to be speaking tomorrow in Bushey about some of the inspirational Arab/Jewish cooperative grassroots initiatives that TalkMatters supports. @allmep @FreddieKrivine @tech2peace #IsraelPalestine

Pleased to attend the International AGM of Wahat-al-Salam~Neve Shalom. Despite the war, the four educational institutions continue to demonstrate cooperation between Jews and Arabs. Friends groups from around the world have come together in London to show their support.

Our event last week gave us an opportunity to hear about the important work of enabling Jewish and Arab children and their parents to get to know each other and to slowly build up trust. See Lee and Riham from FKI talking in this clip youtube.com/watch?v=uF2XCu…

The Jerusalem Youth Chorus continue to enable young Jews and Arabs to get to know each other, to listen to each other's story, to have fun together and to build up trust. We - Muslims and Jews - in the UK community could learn a lot from them #israelpalestine #interfaith

Our July newsletter has good and bad news. Sadly a lot of bad news, but with the good news there is hope - and we must always focus on the hope. We're looking to expand TalkMatters, and we start this month's newsletter with an appeal for financial help talkmatters.info/updates/newsle…

A great event last night that offered a glimmer of hope. Watched 'Children of Peace'', Maayan Schwartz's documentary about @Wahat al Salam Neve Shalom - the village in Israel where Israelis and Palestinians grow up and live together in a shared, equitable society. #interfaith

The war continues and whilst tragedy after tragedy unfurl, and it is very easy to give up hope, but however sceptical you are, read about the ways that Jews & Arabs are still working together in our June 2024 newsletter. talkmatters.info/updates/newsle…

@ALLMEP is a coalition of over 160 organisations - and hundreds of thousands of Palestinians and Israelis - who are building cooperation, justice, equality, shared society, mutual understanding, and peace among their communities. #IsraelPalestine #education

Our Founder, Jenny Nemko, just came back from Atlanta where she came across these beautiful words in a time capsule at their History Centre. We couldn't agree more. ❤️

"Love for all and hatred for no one." Muhammad Sharif Odeh - President of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community - speaking at @FreddieKrivine Jewish-Arab Iftar, shows us a positive way forward. youtu.be/6AcpMeFGfGg?si…

When having emotionally tense discussions it's easy to feel drowned out. If you're struggling to be heard or have some advice on how one can more effectively use their voice, please share in the comments. #IsraelPalestineDifficultQuestions #education #interfaith #empathy

Let the Jerusalem Youth Choir be an example to us all. They raise their voices to push back against violence and sing out for peace, justice, inclusion, and equality. #education #interfaith #israelpalestine

@TammyJ140 It can be very hard to say how you feel when the people in the room are either staunchly pro-Palestinian or pro-Israeli. If they're without empathy for the suffering of the other side and have little understanding of the complexities of the two narratives you're in a hard place.

@talkmattersinfo How comfortable I feel depends on the company I am keeping.
