Peace Links: Grass Roots Initiatives for Peace in Israel Palestine

Joint Projects of Israelis and Palestinians:

Tsur Hadassah and Wadi Fukin two villages, one on the Israeli side of the pre-1967 border and the other on the West Bank side. Jews from Tsur Hadassah approached the Palestinian residents of Wadi Fukin (Green Valley) with an offer of help. They would work together to stop water pollution coming from the nearby illegal Jewish settlement and to stop the encroaching separation wall. Instead of a human rights approach they applied Israeli environmental law. So far they are winning. (Note: Green Action, one of the suppliers of olive oil for Peace Oil, has a project helping women in Wadi Fukin sell their produce.)

Watch this excellent movie about the collaboration between the two villages:

Ta'ayush, Arab Jewish Partnership demonstrates against the separation fence and other oppressive measures of the occupation. Israelis and Palestinians stand side-by-side in the West Bank. Too often they have to withstand forceful tactics used by the IDF to break up peaceful demonstrations. Click here for a particularly interesting story on their website. http://www.taayush.org/

Just Vision is a nonprofit organization that informs local and international audiences about under-documented Palestinian and Israeli joint civilian efforts to resolve the conflict nonviolently. Using media and educational tools, Just Vision raises awareness in order to encourage civic participation in grassroots peace building. Their most recent effort is the film Budrus about a growing non-violent civil disobedience movement of Palestinians and Israelis that is working to protect Palestinian land from encroachment by the "security fence." See the trailer below:

THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF THIS LIST. MUCH MORE TO COME!
