Welcome to our online campaign, Give Peace A Chance, a Channel M Production. We are dedicated to examining the prospects for Peace & Reconciliation between Arabs & Israelis and Palestinians & Israelis. Together we will learn more about efforts taking place at a grassroots level to engage and understand each side. Did you know there are tens of Peace Movements engaging both Israeli's and Palestinians in peace-building efforts to build bridges and assist them to get to know each other better? Engagement with "the other side" is crucial to achieving peaceful co-existence.
In this episode we discuss the growing vibrancy of the Women Wage Peace movement within the context of the latest round of fire exchanged between Hamas and Israel. Other talking points include the latest warning from the US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken that there could be more violence if the "Sheikh Jarrah issues" are not resolved.
How do Israeli's and Arabs cope in the aftermath of the latest war, riots, and other incidents of violence? There are many community engagements taking place which helps resident heal and strengthen ties with each other. A Pre-school community in Haifa hosted an event last Friday, on the beach exchanging dialogue.
On the 19th of May 2021, hundreds of women joined hands in a Peace Chain event in the Old City of Jerusalem.

Give Peace A Chance Episode 21
In this episode, we chat with Rabbi Ron Kronish, an inter-religious peacebuilder, writer, author, and blogger. Our discussion is based on his recent blog in the Times of Israel, "Who's to blame for the 11-day war?"
248 Palestinians were killed, around 100 women and children. Reports indicate that 250 buildings in Gaza were bombed including hospitals, banks, and key infrastructure posts, civilian homes too. 13 people were killed in Israel following the firing of around 4000 rockets, of which 1900 were intercepted by the Dome missile.
We asked Rabbi Kronish if this war could've been avoided?

Rwanda is regarded as a miracle today.
This East African country is hardly a dot on the map anymore sharing a history of colonization and war, with so many other countries.
The spectacular recovery from the genocide of the Tutsis in 1994, is not just a page-turner in their history but an inspiring example to the rest of the world of what can be achieved and what is truly possible when a commitment and pledge is made by the survivors to restore hope, economic prosperity, and sustainable peaceful co-existence.
No other country in the world today has a large number of perpetrators of the genocide living in such close proximity to the victim's families.
In this episode, we remember the victims and pay tribute to the resilience and strength of the survivors. Meet Freddy Mutanguha, a survivor of the genocide who lost both parents, four sisters, and 80 members of his family at the hands of the Interahamwe, Hutu extremists who mobilised quickly after the assassination of Rwandan President Juvenal Habriyamana. The Interahamwe showed no mercy and went on a mass killing spree to wipe out the Tutsis.
"The moments Rwandans chose the road of reconciliation the survivors and people in the country started the healing process. That was really the starting point. The moment we chose reconciliation and peace is the moment that economic growth started. So when you make the right choice you are going in the right direction. What I realized as well is that people who make the choice to hate and to commit genocide, I have never seen any genocide that doesn't have survivors, that means you are a failure because you did not succeed to wipe out a whole ethnic group, that means you are a failure to yourself. And the consequences are equal or even bigger than what you caused. Both sides suffer from the consequences of what you just did and they suffer from the bad choice that you made of hate.
But I have never seen any consequences and bad consequences of making the choice for peace. You may not see it, you may make great sacrifices for peace to go beyond your emotions and feelings, but you are sure that the next generations will enjoy it! This is really the best way of putting it Making the choice for peace is making a choice for all generations to come." Freddy Mutanguha, Survivor, Kigali Genocide Memorial.
