Peace by Design: The Story of Wahat al-Salam/Neve Shalom
Correction: On the map, the Gaza Strip is not shown. Therefore, it appears as though it's part of Israel, which it is not. It would be bordering Egypt & Israel on the leftward Sea portion. Also, the black dot makes WASNS look part of the West Bank, but note that it is within Israel.
*All people featured in this piece are Israeli citizens. The Israeli Arabs identify themselves as Palestinian Israelis.

oasisofpeace.org - Israel's Channel One program המהדורה ( Release) recently visited Neve Shalom Wahat al-Salam to talk with some of the teens living in this deliberate cooperative village of Jews and Palestinian Arabs. In the current climate of distrust, despair and violence they found humor, optimism, inspiration and hope. Please visit oasisopeace.org for more information or to make a contribution.

(Dur: 6 mins. 13 secs/english sot 1 min. 35 secs)
As peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians have broken down over Israel's decision to build a new Jewish settlement in disputed east Jerusalem, relations between both communities are at an all time low. But there is a haven of peace and future hope, amidst all the hatred and mistrust. In the area of Neve Shalom, thirty Arab and Jewish families have been living harmoniously side by side, for the past nineteen years. It's a unique experiment. The children grow up together, go to the same schools, learn each other's languages and customs and find out that they're not so different after all.

After almost forty years of existence the state of Israel is going through one of its worst periods of communal tension. But a unique group of people are trying to reverse the trend. Neve Shalom is a community of Jewish and Arab families who live with each other, and work for peace and reconciliation.
