An exceptional meeting between hundreds of Israelis and Palestinians, organised by Minds of Peace, took place yesterday in Tel Aviv (opposite Habima theatre). It was a moving, enriching and inspiring experience. The discussions around Marie-Lyne Smadja’s table were complicated but profound. People had different political points of view, yet they succeeded in agreeing on 3-4 points around the difficult problems of the conflict; such as the boarders, the release of prisoners etc. A religious man from Bnei-Brak suggested an original and clever way of dealing with the terror occurrences. All around the table it was felt that there is hope, that a political solution is possible. We only need to demand it of our leaders. This meeting has shown the power citizens hold and that we need to take responsibility for our present and our future.
Women Wage Peace continues. We won’t stop until we have a political agreement. We demand going back to the negotiating table. Yes, it is possible! Here and now. There is no more time to waste.
