    More programs like this are needed in the region. One organization, tamara, who has created a biosphere in Columbia has plans for one in Jerusalem..put together Israelis and Palestinians in one enclosed environment and let them naturally get to know each other and work together to maintain the environment, learn peace and to live together.

    This is what we need to do.

    In Israel today, Jewish and Arab citizens live in a highly segregated environment, often in closely adjoining areas and in many regions throughout the state of Israel. In the most recent census of Israeli citizens, 20% are Arab and 80% are Jewish. Today there are few opportunities for meaningful and deep interaction between members of these two major groups, especially in the fields of elementary and secondary education, which are almost entirely segregated.

    In 1997, Hand in Hand Center for Jewish-Arab Education is Israel was founded to build peace between Jews and Arabs in Israel through development of bilingual and multi-cultural schools. Elementary schools were founded in Jerusalem and in the Galilee region of Israel; in 2004 a third school was opened in Wadi Ara. In September 2007, the fourth Hand in Hand school through the parents's group Hagar opened in Beersheva. Under the unique Hand in Hand Education model, each school is co-directed by Arab and Jewish co-Principals; and each classroom is co-taught by Jewish and Arab teachers. Students at each grade level are balanced between Arab and Jewish children. Students at all grade levels are taught in both Hebrew and Arabic, learning to treasure their own culture and language while understanding the difference of others around them.---

    So many of these issues are basically resource wars. If we apply ourselves to systematically creating sustainable systems, we take much of the pressure off of the populations.

    Yes it is more complicated, but start with ensuring everyone has clean water..you get very far.

    Building those systems together is what we have to do all over the planet.

    Reminds me of in History class when the post-Civil War South didn't want the poor farmers to realize that they were facing the same problems of the poor blacks. They wanted them to keep them apart to keep them from working together and from realizing they aren't that different.
