The parents united by grief: Israeli mother who lost a son, 28, to a sniper in 2002 and Palestinian father whose daughter, ten, was killed in 2007 warn ‘no-one will win’ in latest bloodshed

Originally published in Daily Mail

The parents, though from opposing sides, have spoken regularly at events together to ‘raise up our voice to stop this madness’. They say they now consider each other ‘like family’ and that ‘We are not here to compare each others’ pain’.

These members won’t give up on peace.

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