What’s New
My First Time Meeting ‘The Other Side’
by Ayala Metzger
Bereaved Israeli member
Parents Circle – Families Forum
I visited Beit Jala yesterday as part of a meeting of the Parents Circle Women’s Group. About 30 Jewish and Palestinian women joined, all bereaved.
This was my first time at such a meeting. Sitting next to me were women who were new to the group, like me, and others who had known each other for years and who would not give up on the meeting and the deep friendships that had formed between them.
Days of Solidarity
Last week, dozens of Israelis and Palestinian peacebuilders visited Mikhmas, a small village near Ramallah. Our presence was not merely a visit, but a message of solidarity and support for the local residents who face daily challenges in protecting their land, their homes, and their way of life. The village has been repeatedly targeted by settler attacks in recent weeks.
Yaakub Alrabi, a bereaved Palestinian husband, shared about his experience.
