AP – Jericho Postponed
The OneVoice Movement regrets that the Jericho Summit that was to be hosted by OneVoice Palestine on October 18th as part of its www.OneMillionVoices.org campaign is postponed due to security considerations.
This is a serious setback to the 600,000 Palestinian and Israeli signatories to the OneVoice Mandate, and to the millions of moderates in the region and worldwide who recognize the imperative of ending the conflict through a two-state solution.
The global responsibility of amplifying voices of moderates to help them seize back the agenda for conflict resolution is only further highlighted by this development.
The OneVoice Summit in Tel Aviv and echo events worldwide will continue as planned, as will the overall campaign, One Million Voices To End The Conflict, across Israel and Palestine.

Reality Changes Faster than Perception
A YGL from Colombia mentioned at a session here in Dalian that ‘reality changes faster than perception,’ which is a challenge to Colombia because even as vast economic, social and political developments take place, the stereotype about Colombia as a dangerous guerrilla-ridden zone will take far longer to change. The same problem exists in conflict [...]

Boycotting the OneVoice Summit?
OneVoice Palestine has recently been attacked by a new campaign by disgruntled people (apparently funded out of Lebanon) who believe the OneVoice Summit should be boycotted.
