A common space for harmonic peacemakers
A very unusual project for opening heart within ourselves to meet with others at the eye level.
Listen, internal observe, respect each others beliefs and culture, that consist of plenty of music and prayer,
work that allows connection between people.
- Narine Melikyan

“Our neighbors! Stop the madness!”
By A. Rayan - Ramallah
In our street I am being told that no Palestinian will ever talk about peace in the next fifty years. They tell me that because they know that I still stand for peace and coexistence between the two nations. And when I ask them why, they tell me: because the Israelis are going mad and going off for vengeful wars for nothing. They ask: “why would they destroy entire cities in response to rockets that don't cause any casualties? Our revenge should be tenfold for the destruction of our towns and massacre of our children throughout the generations.”
And I have to restrain myself and think: soon or later the two nations will mature and understand that they have no other choice but to live together.
In all my travels in and out of the country I preach for mutual and egalitarian life for whoever lives on this land. This is because I believe that the humane, natural and historically justified solution is the living together in the same state and under the same rule. I believe that there is room in this country for everyone, even if all the Jews in the world would immigrate here. And if we will learn to live together there will be prosperity and progress: we spend so much money on the wars and the result is ravaging and destruction. Imagine how it would be if we invested in industry and development instead of in wars.
But who would want to prevent coexistence in this land?
I summarize the social elements that have no interest in coexistence as follows:
Now, the masses in both nations are being misled by these elements and their preaching of hatred and wars. They, in turn, become both the fuel and the victims of the ongoing conflict between the poor on both sides.
The humane, natural and fair solution is to live together and cooperate, to build and develop under the rule of law for ALL, and not to be victims of useless and unclear wars.
I call on the poor masses – the workers, the farmers, the dwellers of the villages and development towns, middle class and working class, to turn their backs on their support of the representatives of fasc
