Where Hawks and Doves Fly Together
(Jerusalem Post) Martin J. Raffel and Dan Diker - We have differing perspectives on the history and current status of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and perhaps its ultimate resolution. But sometimes our viewpoints converge. We believe in peace and security for both Palestinians and Israelis. To get there, we recognize the need to develop a Palestinian governance and economic infrastructure in the West Bank and Gaza capable of sustaining a future state living in peace, security and good neighborly relations next to Israel. And we believe government-to-government, civil society and people-to-people initiatives that foster cooperation and bolster trust between Israelis and Palestinians ought to be supported and expanded. Martin J. Raffel is former senior vice president of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs. Dan Diker, project director of the program to counter political warfare and BDS at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, previously served as secretary general of the World Jewish Congress.
