About Unicorns and Worldpeace

Probably you’ve already heard about the campaign „Israel loves Iran„. Some israeli guy put a picture of him and his daughter with a message to the iranian people: „We will never bomb you. We love you.“ And this went viral. Thousands followed his example and spread the spirit. Now there is „Palestine loves Israel„ „Ukraine loves Russia„ „Jews love Muslims, Muslims love Jews„ „Croatia Loves Israel, Iran and Middle East“ (but no one else^^) „America Loves Iraq“ and „America loves Vietnam“ (we won’t […]

A Second Seder: The Night of an Interfaith Exchange.

Ruth is serving two Seders. The second has a special reason: She invites Israelis and Palestines to meet each other and celebrate together the feast of Pessah.

Being jewish (in Bulgaria) and a foreigner (in Berlin) she has been part of minorities for all her life. Now that […]

dance flashmob for peace
Sometimes just a small action can lead to a new understanding. A group of Arabs and Jews dance to Meir Banai’s „Shafshaf’s Song“ in sign language in Tel Aviv’s first shopping mall (Dizengoff Center). I tried to find more background information on their Facebook „TogetherPage“ – with no luck. It seems like there are kinda flashmobs and dance performances all over the country.

Don’t join us! Why the Parents Circle doesn’t want to expand

palestine-israeli-coffin
One of the hardest things that can happen to you, is when you lose somebody you love. The pain and anger will certainly only those people understand the fullest, who suffered the same.   First, this advertisement is a little strange. We see people – young and old – looking us straight into the eye and saying seriously: „We don’t want you here.“ (.לא רוצים אתכם פה .لا نريدكم هنا) Why? What did we do wrong, that they don’t consider us […]
