The EAPPI team visited Israel last week. We went to Haifa a beautiful city on the Mediterranean coastline to understand another perspective to the conflict. We met some interesting Israelis with very different views to what one would expect. The representatives came from organisations such as The Other Voice, New Profile, and Adalah. They are Israeli organisations who are actively involved in finding solutions to the conflict in the West Bank and assisting with the peace process on a grassroots level. Among other issues their focus is mainly on addressing the human rights of the Arab minority in Israel, transforming the militaristic aproach to a civic society in Israel and maintaining relationships with their neighbours in Gaza. It was positive to see that there are some groups in Israel who are working towards peace.
