When I first visited Israel and Palestine in 2005, Palestinians I met asked me to tell their stories, because, they told me, "surely, if Americans knew what is happening here, our lives would change." Since then I have returned six times and I have heard this from more people than I can count. This blog tells their stories and the stories of the Israeli peace activists I have met who are working to build bridges of understanding with Palestinians and end their government's occupation of the West Bank and Gaza.
