First regional IEP event brings Palestinian youth leaders to Tel Aviv University

OneVoice Israel collaborated with student organizations at Tel Aviv University to put on the first regional IEP event, bringing OneVoice Palestine youth leaders to speak before Israeli students.

There were around 25-30 participants at the event, many of them OV supporters. The crowed was very silent during the presentations; they were very thirsty to know the background of these students. It was a moving experience for the Israeli students to meet people from the other side who speak about the future in such a constructive way. Questions from the audience were regarding what normal life in Palestine is like, how relations with Hamas work, the details of the PA security force in Jenin, and the reaction of the general Palestinian public to the work of OVP.

One student in the audience said that if it was between he and the OVP leaders, the conflict could be solved in one hour.

More meetings like this one will be organized in the coming months - the next will be at the Herzliya IDC.

I would ask these students from Palestine if they would be willing to renounce all the verses in the Qur'an, Hadeth, and Sunnah which directly refrence Jewish hatred and the need for Jewish humiliation.

Wonderful work. To the previous comment - there are no such references in the Quran etc. All religions (including Judaism) can be taking out of context by fundamentalists. Stop being so ignorant. I hope the jewish students understand how awful life is in occ territories and how humiliating it has been for palestinians who have had their homes demolished.. Many citizens of Gaza initially lived in the now Israeli towns of Sderot etc.. but ofcourse that is all forgotten now..

interesting to see the same problems abroad, the same than in Ireland between catholics and protestants, etc ...
dont worry, be patience!

Israel; stop killing innocent People of Palestine. if you thing you are really brave come to fight against a country like iran pakistan turkey why killing those who even dont have guns.

Awesome ! Nice blog as well as nice viewrs are here.Hope we will get more information from here.Keep it up.

I have had an interest in this group for a long time. I am impressed with your honesty and purpose. What I don't know is what would a 2 state solution look like? How would it be formed and secured? Finally, what could be done about Hammas? It seems to me they are the problem for both sides.
I will be in Israel soon Mar. 18th, I would like to talk with one of your people there. How can I do this?
Thank you

Realy would like to say thanks to all of you guys. Shairing Knowledgeble information here.

Where in the Quran, does it state its hatred to Jews?
