October 25, 2023 | Source: Optimist Daily

There is a glimmer of hope in the heart of one of the world’s longest and most complex wars, yet it often goes unrecognized. While the sad reality of violence and division dominates the media, countless grassroots organizations are working tirelessly to bring peace and reconciliation to the Israel-Palestine conflict.

These are the region’s hidden heroes, made up of people who think that even at the darkest of times, peace is still attainable. Let us cast a light on 12 such organizations and their outstanding work.

Standing Together Israel:

As the region continues to be ravaged by violence, Standing Together, Israel’s largest Arab-Jewish grassroots organization, brings together Jewish and Palestinian volunteers. They labor relentlessly to assist victims of continuous violence while also campaigning for peace, equality, social justice, and climate justice. Their message is clear: the future they envision is one of peace, Israeli and Palestinian independence, full equality, and environmental justice.
(This is just the first of 12. Very inspiring reading.)

1. Seeds of Peace

https://www.seedsofpeace.org/

In this painful time, we stand on the side of humanity. We join calls for an end to the violence, while keeping our eyes set on the larger goal: that all Palestinians and Israelis live in freedom and safety.

During these devastating days, we’ve heard so many heart-wrenching stories from our community on the ground in Israel and Palestine. As far as we know, all our Seeds are still alive, though many have lost family and friends. Some have loved ones being held hostage. Others are texting us from the rubble of their destroyed homes.

They are shaken and suffering, but they are not giving up.

They are shaken and suffering, but they are not giving up.
