Orni Petrushka, Gilead Sher and Ami Ayalon wrote a very thoughtful and compelling opinion piece in the New York Times that should be required reading for anyone who cares about Israel and/or Palestine.  The time has come for citizens, communities and governments in the region and globally to start making a two state solution a reality.  With positive facts on the ground.  OneVoice and the PeaceWorks Foundation will hopefully be deepening their work in this direction also.

Paul McCartney has been a strong and steady voice in support of OneVoice and its efforts to achieve peace in the Middle East.  In 2009 Sir Paul wrote a letter to President Obama to notify him of OneVoice’s work, and Sir Paul currently lists OneVoice at the top of his list of supported charities.  We’re honored to be joined by Sir Paul in our efforts and are inspired by the way he uses his talents to bring people together.

This Huffington Post article by Joel Braunold of OneVoice is excellent and worth reading.  Joel articulates the deeper meaning behind UNESCO Membership for Palestinians: “the establishment of World Heritage sites.”  According to Joel, this is crucial in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict which at its core is about connection to the land, and control over it.

This article, written by Gershon Baskin is sadly, very good .  If anything, it is too gentle with the potential downside.  The Palestinian economy is actually witnessing growth under Fayyad.
