People’s Voice Group Calls For Israeli-Palestinian Peace in This Video

It Doesn’t Have to be Like This

The People’s Voice, a non-political Israeli-Palestinian initiative, which promotes peace in the Middle East has launched, as part of an ad campaign, a viral video that demonstrates peace is possible and calls for both Palestinians and Israelis to join the cause for peace.

Last year, the group put out a video called Make Love Not War (video to follow) which, again, called for peace in the Middle East and illustrated the power of love over war in a sexually humorous manner.

The new video commercial, which takes a more serious tone, takes place in what seems like a war zone. An Israeli soldier aims to shoot a young Palestinian boy throwing stones, but it turns out to be a friendly game of skeet shooting. It does give the shivers until it resolves itself peacefully. The voiceover says, “Looks fantastic, almost a dream. Yet if we can only believe this dream shall come true.”

The video asks both Israelis and Palestinians to believe in the dream, that Peace is possible, and to sign up at their website for the People’s Voice Peace Initiative. So far, 172,000 Israelis and 135,000 Palestinians have joined.

A well-timed silence does more damage in an argument than any sentence ever could — because words give the other person something to fight against but silence gives them nothing and a person with nothing to push back on is forced to sit with what they just said and that’s where the real reckoning happens

Nobody talks about why so many retired people suddenly care deeply about things that seem trivial – the garden, the bird feeder, the perfect sourdough – but psychologists say these aren’t hobbies, they’re the first projects in decades where the only metric of success is personal satisfaction

Psychology says parents who feel unloved by their adult children are often actually deeply loved — but they’re measuring love by the standards of dependent childhood rather than the autonomy of adulthood

People who prefer eating alone at restaurants aren’t lonely. They discovered that solitude in a public place is one of the few spaces where you can exist without performing, and once you find that, a table for one stops feeling like something that needs explaining.
