After a successful pilot in Chicago with talks at four universities, OneVoice decided to roll out this fall an International Education program. The program aims to counteract polarization on campuses and communities worldwide – sending Israeli and Palestinian OV representatives with nationalist credentials from each side to college campuses plagued with divisions. They will discuss OV’s work and methodology and expose students and community leaders to the imperative alternative of working together pragmatically to support their leaders’ quest towards conflict resolution.
The program was conceived after the realization that extremist groups pervade outside the region even though they are out of whack with mainstream Israelis and Palestinians. Over the past couple years, destructive campaigns aimed at de-legitimizing Israel through divestment campaigns or at dehumanizing all Palestinians as terrorists have been corrosive. Hopefully as audiences hear the visions and ambitious of the people living with the consequences, extremists will be exposed as false messiahs that are not helping the cause of their people.
Beautiful and fashionable young people theme of the times! Sports series is the same fashion!

This is a great article. Wow, so many of these things I never thought of before. I read posts often, even on this side, and I think it is great, but I make time to leave a comment. From the outset, to ensure more comments.
