When it comes to peace, how would you describe yourself?
I am a 'born again' activist
What do you believe are the 'burning issues' today?
War, Hunger, Poverty, Education, Our Planet, Violence, Human Rights, Our Shrinking Freedom, Other
So what is it?
reconciling the irreconcilables- faith & reason for starters
What must we overcome to achieve peace?
Fear
More
fear of the other, fear of being taken advantage of, fear of internal strife, fear of death, fear of life, fear of love.
Can we change the world?
Definitely
More about me
My company produces organic cotton T-shirts at a sweatshop-free Palestinian owned factory on Virgin Mary Street in Bethlehem. Here’s a link to an al Jazeera segment about the project.
Our Jewish, Israeli & US mainstream press has been just as positive. Apparently we’ve found an elusive piece of common ground- more good jobs for Palestinians in Palestine will help the situation. While economic development is no substitute for a diplomatic settlement, no settlement can survive without a sustainable Palestinian economy. So while waiting for a political resolution we have created a mechanism for ordinary citizens of good faith to build good will on the ground & support the peace to come. We’re marketing these T-shirts wholesale (blank or custom printed) to Jewish, Muslim, Christian & secular schools & camps in the US, Canada & Israel.
The concept is simple. When faced with an apparently irresolvable conflict, if there is any one thing all parties agree on- do that one thing and see what happens.
“We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality; tied in a single garment of destiny.”

okay
colonialism is at the root of so much that is wrong on a day to day basis in this world
dominant cultures- e.g. white culture in north america is seeing a big shift in the balance
my won country is so multi cultural that we answer 911 calls in 75 languages
but we are apathetic too often about making change and even with your vibrant election it didn't get people in Canada going in sufficient numbers to the voting stations and out ruling the right wing right white prime minister we have
it is a shame-we may call an election yet again
dominant culture controls culture but does not necessarily represent it
i kvell every week with another Obama deed
those portals in GHana needed to be visited and revisited and apologized for
