I came across this article today and I think it is always useful to hear the voices of those that live the situation of oppression themselves.

Jubilee recently did a very insightful and fascinating video where they sat down three Israelis and three Palestinians to talk about their differences and similarities regarding the Israel-Palestine crisis. You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Jj8vne0ca0 If you watched it, what are your thoughts?
Thank you for sharing this piece, Rina. It's often true that when people from another country examine a foreign conflict, we reduce it to the facts: numbers (of people killed, of people living in settlements) and facts in addition to judgments. We need to understand that actual people are being affected on a day to day basis by decisions and policies of the past and present when developing resolutions and policies for the future.
Yes, and i also think that unless you talk to people from both sides, you cant really have a well-constructed opinion
Definitely! Especially as an outsider.
