Promoting Israeli-Palestinian unity in resolving the conflict.

This is an interdisciplinary effort that often requires advocating for alternative courses of action to the leadership’s policies. Members believe that peacebuilding through interfaith bridge-building, particularly on the grassroots level, is a very effective way to bring peace between Palestinians and Israelis.
