I respect any effort to bring these two communities together in a productive and peaceful manner. However, it's a huge mistake to think that by making them understand how similar they are they can make peace with one another. This conflict is about a brutal military occupation and apartheid. Without freedom and equailty for both peoples there will never be mutual understanding.

Also I have seen the terrible and devastating separation wall up close, I must tell you that it is a complete misnomer to call it a "security fence." This wall brings Israel nothing but lack of security.
