Personally, I’m skeptical about this sort of thing helping the Israeli-Palestinian conflict… not because it isn’t a beautiful and productive thing to pursue, but because the conflict on the ground seems more tribal than religious, more about land, freedom, and control than about beliefs. We need bridges among the people who are actually there, not among their weakly connected coreligionists half a world away. There’s only so much pressure you can exert from your armchair on someone living under rocket fire.
