Transforming the Source of the ConflictIn the midst of the conflict between Israel and Palestine there lie little noticed phenomena that are at its source. The events and interactions in the relationship between the two sides have produced, over time, conflicting interpretations and myths.These are the disparate images and accompanying stories which are deeply held in the national consciousness of each side and which lie at the heart of the conflict. The Israel Palestine Project The Israel Palestine Project is committed to producing a quantum leap toward an equitable and enduring peace in the conflict through the creation and acceptance of a common historical narrative acceptable to both sides.Although “side by side” Israeli and Palestinian narratives exist as historical documents, a common historical narrative has never before been successfully realized. An immense possibility exists in the space of agreement created by this narrative. This space holds the possibility of an equitable and enduring peace in Israel Palestine. This will be accomplished by: • Publishing and distributing the narrative widely • Promoting dialogues in villages, towns and cities in Israel Palestine • Providing the narrative to schools in Israel and Palestine • Teaching courses in the history of the individual narratives and the common narrative throughout the world. This is a transformative process. The acceptance of the narrative by the mainstream populations of Israel and Palestine will transform the conflict at its source. This process, demonstrated by The Israel Palestine Project, will become a model pathway for the resolution of intergenerational and intransigent conflicts anywhere in the world. We invite you to take a stand for the end of the Israel Palestine conflict by 2012 — an idea whose time has come. Enrolling in this project will be an important contribution and expression of your commitment to an equitable and enduring peace in Israel Palestine and a new possibility for the world. Registering in this project will be an important contribution and expression of your commitment to an achievable peace in Israel Palestine and a new possibility for the world. |
