Interns For Peace
View the agency’s website
In the first Gulf War, several Arab villages inside Israel invited Jews from other
villages and towns to come stay with them, where the scud missiles would not be
aimed. The Arab villages that did so had all participated over the years in Interns
For Peace programs. Through IFP, Arabs and Jews intern in each other's communities
for six months at a time. It works! Now Interns For Peace has developed a program
for going into schools, Jewish schools and Arab schools, where IFP runs powerful
programs to teach each group the truth about the other. Uncorrupting young minds
is a very tough task. If you believe someone has to try, be glad it is Interns
For Peace!
In general the IFP proven method is that common action to achieve a shared
task unites people to see each other's humanity and breaks down walls of suspicion,
fear, distrust and hatred.
Scores of thousands of people have been reached by trained interns from this
splendid organization! IFP also runs effective anti discrimination programs
in New York City and in Bosnia and Central Africa!
Here is what Hisham Kullab, the IFP Palestinian Director wrote not long ago: “I
go back to Gaza to be a civil hero. I am inspired by you (Jewish IFP) to be a
factory of hope.”
