"No one will win. The only winners are the graves & the weapon sellers. We need to understand that both of us have the right to exist & have the right to live in peace, security, prosperity, & social justice." -Bassam Aramin, bereaved Palestinian father

The last war between Israel and Gaza killed hundreds of innocents, including 68 children. There was no purpose to the killing, and the parties found themselves in the same situation after the fighting relented. We are in the same pointless bloodbath again. This has to stop.

"What kind of adults are going to come out of this? I'm terrified of all the retribution that's going to happen. There's no revenge. Revenge only creates more violence." --Robi Damelin, bereaved Israeli mother, PCFF spokesperson

The Israel-Hamas war has not quashed their compassion, their empathy, their hope
They're from Israel and Gaza. A man whose parents died on Oct. 7 feels as if he is swimming in an sea of sorrow. A young man has a soldier's bullet lodged in his spine. Yet they have not lost hope.

Bereaved Israelis & Palestinians led a moving Dialogue Meeting in Tel Aviv on Saturday. For 20 years, we've engaged thousands of Israeli students in Dialogue Meetings. Shockingly, the Edu. Ministry banned these talks. Will you help us fight back today? parentscirclefriends.org/standwithpcff/
