OneVoice executives met with the Palestinian Prime Minister the other week.  While the meeting focused on many issues, Samer bolstered the importance of state building and civil society’s role in doing so successfully.

It is especially fitting that the following OneVoice music video aired repeatedly in Times Square, the capital of diversity and entertainment in NYC.  Check out this great video by clicking on the photo below, to see the humorous message of peace and hope that thousands of New Yorkers got a chance to see:

Samer Makhlouf, director of OneVoice Palestine just shared a very hopeful bit of information with me, in the form of a survey.  The survey, found on Maan Network asked the following:

The Palestinian society is capable of changing the Israeli political map through:

1. explaining the suffering under occupation to Israelis

2. non-violent resistance

3. intensifying meetings of Palestinians figures with Israeli media

Two good indicators here are that Palestinians acknowledge the importance of addressing Israeli society, and that more than 80% believe in non-violence as a mean to end the conflict.

This past week, twenty OneVoice Youth Leaders participated in the annual Nablus Marathon, along with Prime Minister Salam Fayyad and approximately 5000 other participants.  At the end of the marathon, the Youth Leaders, clad in OneVoice tee-shirts, had collected visions of 2018 from their huffing and puffing peers along the course.

The marathon itself is a concrete sign of nation building, and the Youth Leader’s participation, is a sign of the peaceful nation that will hopefully continue to be built.
