Participant Reviews 2013 Israel Symposium, Part 2 Participant Reviews 2013 Israel Symposium, Part 2 The following continues Merle Wolofsky’s report on her experience as a participant in PPI’s recent Israel Symposium: Our day on the West Bank was the most exciting and hope-inspiring of the trip. The Palestinians we met expressed aspirations, attitudes and respect that made us feel that they could be our cousins. After I tell you what transpired I will end this section with a caveat. Sulaiman Khatib Sulaiman Khatib served 10 years of a 15 year sentence for lightly injuring an Israeli soldier with stone throwing when he was 14 years old. Jail served as a university for him where he learned about non-violent resistance as an effective weapon in the fight for independence. Along with Israeli army veterans in Combatants for Peace, he is seeking non-violent strategies to bring about a two-state solution. Faisal Awartani Faisal Awartani, CEO and founder of Alpha International for Research Polling and Informatics, provided lots of statistics to show the negative effects that occupation imposes on goods and movement. The Second Intifada resulted in a sharp decrease in the employment of Palestinians in Israel from 180,000 to 40,000. The US is subsidizing the Palestinian Authority rather than working to reduce economic restrictions. Palestinian support for a two-state solution, including land swaps, is dropping from 70% to 60%. Thirty percent want one state. If there were two states, Gaza would support Fatah over Hamas. Women now occupy 15% of high positions. Currently 95% of children get at least an elementary education. The West Bank is 97% Muslim and 3% Christian. Mohammad Shtayyeh Mohammad Shtayyeh is [was] one of the Palestinian peace negotiators. He has been involved in talks of one kind or another since 1991, including Madrid and Geneva. He is the Palestinian Authority’s minister in charge of the Palestinian Economic Council for Development and Reconstruction (PECDAR). I am reporting what he said in what I hope is an objective nonjudgmental manner, so you can gain some understanding of where he is coming from. This does not mean that I endorse the whole of it. Although we were told several times that nobody would talk about what was said at the negotiations, this man did. He was calm, charming and very sincere, especially when he talked about the normal life he would like for his people. He was just about the only one who felt the process had a chance to succeed, because: 1. both parties have the political will to be at the table 2. there are agreed terms of reference 3. an agreed limited time frame 4. confidence building measures 5. an honest broker is present. He thinks Palestinians will benefit most from peace but is worried they are reaching a serious crisis. From his reading, 72% of Palestinians want a two- state solution but 92% do not believe that the process will achieve this goal. He said that the Arabs have made many compromises, agreeing to just 22% of the land they called Palestine, a demilitarized state fully cooperating with Israel and if necessary a third party to oversee security. But they will not agree to Israel’s demands for a presence in the Jordan Valley, a right of hot pursuit against attackers, an emergency deployment or for Israel to control the sky. He argued that the US can patrol via overhead satellites. He expressed awareness that events in surrounding counties were a source of concern for Israel. He was resistant to the demand for Palestine to recognize Israel as a Jewish state for reasons of the past, the present and the future. Although recognizing that Jews have a past here, as do the Muslims and Christians, he’s afraid that these other narratives would be denied. Would it lead to ethnic cleaning of the 1.6 million Arabs living in Israel presently and would it prohibit any resettlement of refugees in the future? He saw that with the creation of a Palestinian state, his people could choose to stay in other Arab lands where they have settled, come to Palestine, go to another non-Arab country, or some could go to Israel. Negotiators need to empower each other. His people are talented and deserve happiness. They need to feel “normal.” In response to a question, he stated that if he had total control of the outcome he would establish the borders at the ’67 lines with minor adjustments. Jerusalem would be an open city to all. The refugees would be accommodated and the Arabs would have no limits on their dignity, sovereignty or independence. Then they could have joint economic development with Israel. When asked why there is no movement in the Arab community compared to Peace Now, he told us the 2000 American Palestinians would be coming to Ramallah shortly and he would bring this idea to them and that he would welcome speakers from Israel to address them. He finished by saying that Oslo’s phasing in was a mistake. Instead we should go with a comprehensive plan with phased implementation. Ms. Wolofsky’s observations conclude with Part 3. .

  • Victimization, Empathy, and Breaking the Cycles of Violence in Israel and Palestine
    International Relations and Diplomacy, February 2017, Vol. 5, No. 2, 61-77 D doi: 10.17265/2328-2134/2017.02.001 DAVID PUBLISHING Victimization, Empathy, and Breaking the Cycles of Violence in Israel and Palestine Franke Wilmer Montana State University, Bozeman, USA Victimization narratives arise out of the experience of historical and ongoing injury, and often intersect or, in part, constitute identity narratives. Unless transformed through reconciliation, these narratives can be used to mobilize violent behavior aimed at restoring justice or preventing further victimization. Victimization narratives arise from lived experiences, whether by contemporary generations, or through intergenerational narratives, charging the present generation with the task of ending present or preventing future injury. Those experiences, however, can be mythologized or distorted, particularly when appropriated in support of an ideological agenda. Cycles of violence, therefore, cannot be ended in a sustainable manner unless victimization narratives are transformed and cycles of violence disrupted. This is the work of conflict transformation and sustainable post-conflict democratic institution-building. Since the present global political landscape is made up of thousands of identity or communal groups living in just under two hundred states with complicated histories of intergroup conflict and historical injury, most, if not all states are to some degree post-conflict societies. This article examines both victimization experiences and narratives through the eyes of peace activists and leaders who work in a binational capacity with Jewish Israelis and Palestinians. Hundreds of peace organizations active in Israel and Palestine, this project focuses on those specifically directed toward opening and cultivating spaces for empathetic engagement across the lines of identity.

  • Deep in the Heart of the West Bank, a Group of Former
    T’S 1 P.M. ON A FRIDAY IN JANUARY IN BEIT JALA, ten kilometres south of Jerusalem, and several dozen men and a handful of women who have occupied the far-right outposts in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are seated around the perimeter of a sunlit room. For the next few hours, the mostly greying Israelis and younger Palestinians sit shoulder to shoulder, drinking rounds of Nescafé or bitter Turkish coffee. As they have for the past three years, these former soldiers and militants engage in an act their politicians have Iabandoned: discussing the toughest subjects that divide their people, while trying to heal their own emotional wounds. There’s no talk of how the perennially stalled peace process might be restarted. For these men and women, members of a group called Wounded Crossing Borders, just being here and daring to participate is enough. “Breathe deeply,” Yuval Carni, a Jewish mediator with a holistic bent, tells the group in Hebrew, as another mediator translates his words into Arabic. He tries to draw them out, THE to put the hardened lot — from Kibbutzim in Jerusalem and refugee camps in Ramallah — in each other’s shoes. Pairing them off, Muslim to Jew, he urges the men and women to give each other a few minutes to say whatever they want, “…in order to release the pressure and anger.” They have been at this, most of them, for almost three years. The meetings, deliberately kept out of the spotlight, are an effort to build bridges between people who have borne the brunt of the decades-long conflict and to help heal their deep emotional wounds.

  • Disturbing the Peace Discussion Guide
    www.influencefilmclub.com Disturbing The Peace Discussion Guide Director: Stephen Apkon, Andrew Young Year: 2016 Time: 86 min You might know this director from: This is the debut feature film from this directorial team. FILM SUMMARY The Israel-Palestine conflict has been been raging in one form or another since the early 20th century, with both Jews and Arab Muslims claiming rights to the land and bloody bouts of all-out war at various times in the wake of World War II. Despite recurring peace talks, the conflict continues today with the Israeli occupation of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, both territories inhabited primarily by Palestinian populations. And yet, the hope of peace is not yet lost. At the heart of Stephen Apkon and Andrew Young’s insightful, stirring DISTURBING THE PEACE is the ability of these long-standing enemies to simply empathize with one another, setting aside animosity for the sake of seeing from each other’s perspective. The film begins with a handful of firsthand accounts from both sides. Elite Israeli soldiers speak of times when they committed acts of violence that destroyed the lives of countless Palestinian families, while Palestinian fighters, many of whom served years in prison, discuss life under the occupation and the extremist measures that one might be brought to in the fight for freedom. But most revealing is when individuals share the moment when they began to empathize with the other side. Once the perspectives of both the Israeli soldiers and the Palestinian fighters are established, DISTURBING THE PEACE follows their journey as they confess their change of heart, make contact with one another, form an alliance under the banner of Combatants for Peace, and begin to publicly advocate for a nonviolent end to the occupation and peace between Israel and Palestine.

  • Cfp Letter Biden Covid Vaccines for Palestinians
    איתי מק, עו"ד Eitay Mack, Advocate ايتاي ِمك، محام מרכז כלל, משרד 745, רח' יפו 97, ירושלים ■ טל' 02-5877766, פקס 02-5877744 Clal Center, Office 745, 97 Yaffo St., Jerusalem ■ Tel 02-5877766, Fax 02-5877744 [email protected] February 28, 2021 To: Joseph R. Biden President of the United States Subject: Request to require the State of Israel to use US aid funds to vaccinate the Palestinian population in the West Bank and Gaza Strip 1. This appeal is sent to you in the name of “Combatants for Peace”, an Israeli-Palestinian NGO, which is committed to promoting peace and the ending of the Israeli military occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. The NGO’s actions are based on building partnerships for a bi-national activity based on non-violence and activism. 2. Unfortunately, the State of Israel renounces its obligations under international law to ensure the Covid-19 vaccination of the Palestinian population in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. 3. Despite Israel’s successful roll-out of its vaccination program against COVID-19, which in the recent days began to include any Israeli citizen above the age of 16 – including Israeli settlers that lives illegally in the West Bank – until now the Israeli government agreed to transfer to the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank only a few thousand vaccines, predominantly for health workers. 4. As a result of this shameful and discriminatory policy, the Israeli activists in “Combatants for Peace” were already able to vaccinate, while the Palestinian activists will have to wait for an unknown period of time.

TRACK II EVALUATION SURVEY - 3 - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY his report recommends that U.S. policymakers strategically employ Track II dialogues as tools to facilitate conflict resolution in the Middle East. Track II, when conducted with T the right participants and at the right time, plays an important role in advancing peace by enabling conflicting parties to open lines of communication, begin to establish trust, and think creatively in an off-the-record domain. RECOMMENDATIONS 1) Leverage Track II Dialogues to Complement Ongoing Track I Activities For ongoing conflicts where Track II dialogues have helped facilitate negotiations, Track II should continue to be employed to complement official talks. • The United States should use Track II to mitigate spoilers and other opponents of the November 24 Interim Agreement between Iran and the United Nations P5+1 members concerning the Iranian nuclear program. The United States should also use Track II to address longer-term regional issues by bringing together Iran, Israel, and Saudi Arabia in discussions.
