What Others Are Willing To Do

We’ve been overwhelmed by the positive response to our initial email.  Scores of people - not just from Ramallah to Tel Aviv, but also from South Africa to Mexico - have written to tell us what they are willing to do toward ending the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, with many creative initiatives and many pledges to help.  Just imagine the impact we can have if all of us do our part.  Take a look at a handful of the commitments we’ve received and got permission to share with you, to help you envision what you, too, can do:

- The IBM International Foundation is Building a OneVoice Collaboration Exchange – allowing Israelis, Palestinians and international individuals and organizations to post their commitments and projects – and opportunities for partnership and collaboration – like a craigslist or ebay for cooperation against extremism and towards a two-state solution. 

- Palestinian Farmers Cooperative will help us recruit new members

- Israeli Taxi Drivers Station will help sign up new members

- A US-based Advertising Agency is helping us build a marketing campaign

- A Group of Palestinian and Israeli business leaders will jointly mentor some of our best young leaders and champion and sponsor their initiatives

- Palestinian Imams and Israeli Rabbis will jointly conduct a day of prayer and call on their communities to join the call against extremism

- Hundreds have made financial pledges to support our effort to get more people to join the movement and make commitments

- The World Economic Forum is hosting a historic video-linked rally against extremism among over 1000 Israeli and Palestinian young leaders

We will start officially unveiling all of the above plus scores of additional commitments starting in 2007.  You’ll have the chance to learn more, to support any of these commitments, or to make your own.

In the meantime, email us or share your thoughts on our blog.  And share this with others.

We cannot give up.  Too much is at stake.
