We concluded the meeting with an amusing exercise where we created a human knot (see photo).<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-7872 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/womenwagepeace.org.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/PalestineWomen2-300x225-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The team also organized a second event during the March; about 150 women from all over Israel as well as 150 Palestinian women from the West Bank participated. The speakers at the ceremony \u2013 Ali abu Awad, Huda\u2019s sister Lama\u00a0 her neice Yara, as well as members of WWP, all spoke about the tribulations of war and the common striving for peace.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A meeting for teachers in Beit Jalla was dedicated to educational issues and ideas for future joint projects.\u00a0 In another meeting, the team met Palestinian women from the Bethlehem area who spoke openly about their hopes and anxieties. We heard a moving story about a Palestinian family who was riding a car when an Israeli soldier suddenly demanded that they stop. One of the children in the car wanted to shake hands with the soldier, who moved his gun behind his back and shook hands with the child.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another event took place two months ago next to Damascus Gate (one of the main gates to the Old City of Jerusalem). The meeting, organized by Ina from Germany and by Fadwa from Ramallah, dealt with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usip.org\/gender_peacebuilding\/about_UNSCR_1325\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=https:\/\/www.usip.org\/gender_peacebuilding\/about_UNSCR_1325&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1528813528665000&amp;usg=AFQjCNG9wv0snOkR36-Si5NrrbaW8or5uA\">UN Resolution 1325<\/a>\u00a0which calls for the inclusion of women in all aspects of national security and peace negotiation. The event served as a stepping stone to a series of meetings organized by the Palestinian women, whose highlight was a gathering on International Peace Day, ending with a march in the Jerusalem area. During our 2017 national flagship project, the\u00a0<b>Journey to Peace<\/b>, approximately 3,000 Palestinian women joined us in what we called the \u201cTent for the Reconciliation of the Daughters of Hagar and Sarah\u201d erected near the Dead Sea.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7836\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7836\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-7836\" src=\"http:\/\/womenwagepeace.org.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/ohel-by-arianne-littman-1-300x191.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"191\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7836\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Mothers&#8217; tent 2018<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Further contacts are created all the time. For instance, two Jerusalem residents of WWP are working with a few women from East Jerusalem to create a group of Jerusalem-area women from both sides. One of our members came to the Mothers\u2019 Tent [see left] with three women from Bethlehem who expressed their desire to get involved in making peace. A contact was also made with women from Jenin and Hebron, with whom WWP hopes to build joint activities. There are also phone and email discussions with women in Gaza whom we look forward to meeting one day\u2026<\/p>\n<div>The team hopes that through these activities, we can contribute to replacing the worn-out slogan that \u201cthere\u2019s no one to talk to on the other side.\u201d There<i>\u00a0<strong>are<\/strong>\u00a0<\/i>\u00a0indeed people to talk to, on both sides.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>Translated from Hebrew by Sue Levinstein and Donna Kirshbaum<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WWP\u2019s Team for Collaboration with Palestinian Women coordinates and encourages connections between the movement and women in Palestinian society, especially women in leadership positions.
