Great Book

A very moving book. It marks out in detail the words of Israeli and Palestinian youth as they confronted each other, offering enormous hope to the idea that yes, these people can live together. A remarkable book about a remarkable program.

Pro-Peace IS pro-Palestine, Pro-Israel

The escalating rhetoric of Palestinians and Israeli, the escalating fighting is all the more absurd if one has enjoyed the experience of two groups meeting not in enmity but friendship, as in the covers of this great book. Since one will never win, the only way to peace, real and just peace, is a meeting of minds, young or old, or in-between. This is the only way. How long will it take? What is so obvious, as seen here, is strangely, so hard to achieve. This book best exemplifies the way barriers are broken down when face to face meetings occur.

The people of Peace Rejoice

I participated in the Seeds of Peace camp this past summer. Even though the book used examples from more early years, I could relate my experiences to the amazing process described in the book, the unmasking of the enemy, and the establishment of friendships amongst foresworn enemys. But this book wouldn't appeal only to those who have gone through the program, it will show those who aren't fimiliar with it, and even those who do not know much about the middle east, the work being done to resolve this conflict, and the emphasis that even though the participants are young in age, they can and will shape the society, and the future of the middle-east to a better place for all religions and nationalities.

The SOP Story

I only read parts of the paperback covered book, and i tell you, as an active member of SOP here in Israel, that this book is the best of expression to our feelings here in the middle east, and our hopes and fears of and for the future. i recomend this book to anyone who is interested in making the world a better place. thank you, E.Israel
