Our research has told us that there are several NGOs already in place in Israel working to bring an end to this conflict. They primarily hold conferences between Arabs and Jews in order to bring dialogue to the discrimination against one another. Ultimately it appears, as they have not gotten very far due to their lack of support from the outside world, which appears to have written off this conflict as religious ranting.

One of Byron Katie's best questions is "Whose business am I in when I think that thought?" There seem to be 3 kinds of business: God/the Universe/Nature/whatever you call it, Someone Else's, and Mine. The deeper I go, the less of *anything* is my business in the slightest.    more >>
