Parents Who’ve Lost Kids To Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Work Together To Promote Peace

The fragile cease-fire between Israel and Gaza continues to hold, but tensions between Israelis and Palestinians remain high.

The fragile cease-fire between Israel and Gaza continues to hold, but tensions between Israelis and Palestinians remain high.

The devastating 11-day air war killed more than 240 Palestinians and a dozen Israelis. Three hundred buildings in Gaza were razed.

Throughout this conflict, and the decades of war that preceded it, some Israeli Jews and Palestinians have continued to work together for peace. Among them is a group called the Parents Circle – Families Forum, and its members have suffered what many can’t imagine — losing a family member to the conflict.

These members won’t give up on peace.

We hope you’ll join them. Your gift supports their work across the U.S.
