For decades Israeli leaders incited violence & hatred against Palestinian, labeling them existential demographic threats, & held marches chanting “death to Arabs” & “kill them all.”

I so appreciate being able to share my story of loss and hope, and I hope it will inspire others to see that things can be differently.

Peace making means not only…

Their lives will forever be divided into before and after October 7th. On that day, Elana Kaminka lost her 20y.o son and I lost my mother. Two of us talked about our decision to dedicate ourselves to fight for peace.
