“Non-violent grassroots actions by Israelis and Palestinians need support if they are to succeed and grow.”

Julia Bacha, filmmaker and Media Director at Just Vision, blogs about their new short film series telling the stories of Israelis and Palestinians involved in an ongoing non-violent campaign in Sheikh Jarrah, Jerusalem.

Jerusalem City Council member Hilik Bar writes about why he believes the new plans for East Jerusalem will benefit the Palestinian residents, and why he disagrees with the Elders.

Tali Nir describes the violence and discrimination against Palestinians in East Jerusalem and argues that a new approach is needed to ensure that the rights of all residents are respected.

Daniel Seidemann and Dan Rothem have devoted their professional lives to advancing the cause of peace in the Middle East. Here, they argue that a two-state solution is an existential imperative for Israel and that a compromise on Jerusalem would be the crowning achievement of Zionism.
