Bridging the divide: 12 groups working for Israel-Palestine peace 

I am definitely of the ‘fake it til you make it’ bunch, but I firmly believe we can do it, in spite of the doubt and anger still prominent in my heart and mind. 

Despite the immense despair around us, and a perennial wave of turbulence, violence, conflict, and seemingly insurmountable pain, a beacon of goodness prevails, and undeniably wondrous hope exists on all sides, a bright torch born to withstand ignorant hatred and uproot evil at the source. In addition to these incredible individuals and organizations, we need brave religious leaders to preach togetherness and acceptance from deep inside the communities. As always with harsh beginnings, it will be hesitant and timid, but change will come by example, over time, and will happen with a unified spirit that embraces both Arabs and Jews.
