Suheir Nasser, an Israeli-Arab from
Sachnin, is one of the most active OneVoice Israel Youth Leaders. She is fluent in both Arabic and Hebrew and
could have spoken in either but chose to speak in English because she wanted to
be a neutral bridge so that everyone would understand her. “, “I can be a
bridge between you [the Palestinians] and the Israelis, since I live in both
worlds and can understand both miseries,” she said. She epitomizes, as she said, the tragedy and
the insanity of the conflict. http://blog.onevoicemovement.org/one_voice/files/picture_071.jpg
