Working with Michael Ingber

The visit of our guest yesterday and today has contributed a lot to what everyone came here to this camp for – Achieving mutual understanding between the different groups-. His sessions were really interesting due to his credibility in both sides. Michael as an Israeli citizen who lived in Israel and Palestine for a long time has a lot of experience in Middle-Eastern issues. His contribution was no more than pure facts and information that enriched our discussions and made them more useful and dependent on facts not only presumed knowledge, stereotypes, and emotions. Our first political discussion yesterday was so HOT for everyone which made us feel uncomfortable for a little while. However the atmosphere of brotherhood and our goal as young peace activists made us feel united again and encouraged us to continue talking and discussing our believes and work together to bring about peace.

Yours in Peace,

Samer Anabtawi

Dear Friends,
First of all my greetings to Lukas, Evelyn's son. 20! What a birthday!
We follow your camp through the blog and it is breathtaking. You are doing a wonderful work.
We appreciate very much your comments on the conflict, and the comments that the Parents Circle-Families Forum can be a proper platform to advance ideas of peace and reconciliation. I suggest that besides learning the history of the conflict and the various perspectives and narratives, you begin thinking on how personally and as a group you can contribute, even modestly, to advance the ideas of co-existence, tolerance, respect of the other, of his rights, his culture, and above all his right to live and live in peace.
