<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Each year, Musalaha holds one camp in Israel for Israeli
and Palestinian children. Since many of
our Musalaha children are growing up and still want to participate in our
camps, we decided to hold two camps in Israel this year, one for junior youth
ages 12-14 and our regular camp for children ages 8-11. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This year as we approached the Musalaha camps, Israel was
in the midst of an ongoing operation in Gaza resulting in daily military
attacks by the IDF, and Israel faced daily rocket attacks by Hamas. We faced new <b>fears </b>by Israeli and
Palestinian parents questioning whether to send their children. Israeli parents were afraid of the
possibility that the camp location might be hit by rockets coming from Gaza.
Palestinian parents were afraid of the possibility of an attack at the camp
location by right wing extremists targeting Palestinians. Both fears were very
strong, especially since Israeli and Palestinian media outlets fed these fears.
Additionally, I myself was afraid of the danger and responsibility I hold over
the children and my team of counsellors. Initially I thought that the camps
will be cancelled because of the political situation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This camp is one of my favorite projects that I look
forward to each year. I enjoy planning it and it is an understatement to simply
say I was disappointed as I contemplated the reality that our camps might not
take place. After studying the situation and taking into account key sources,
we decided that both our camps in the Baptist Village would be held as planned.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first fear I had to overcome was my own. I had to
overcome my fear of this cycle of violence, and put it in the right
perspective. In the process of doing
that, I realized what it means that our <b>conflict </b>is an <b>intractable </b>one. In
part, it means that our political leaders are not interested in solving this
conflict in the same way I would want it solved. I questioned why then they
should be allowed to control my response to this cycle. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, my conclusion was that I either allow this fear to
paralyze or mobilize my response to this conflict. My fear can paralyze me by letting our
leaders dictate how and when we, Israeli and Palestinian believers, meet each
other. We should wait until the fighting is over and there is no more violence
to meet again. We should only meet when our leaders allow it. On the other hand, my fear can mobilize me
and my commitment to meet despite what our leaders are dictating to us. During trying times, they often call us to
identify with our national and ethnic group, and that loyalty is expected to
exceed all others. <b> By isolating
ourselves from contact with the other, we allow our society to dictate what our
brothers and sisters are experiencing and feeling. </b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To go against your society is the harder choice for
several reasons. First, it is hard because I am asked to bypass the fear that
my society builds in me. If you grow up here, you are well aware that each side
believes there is no partner for peace. “They are not interested in a peace. We
gave them so many chances,” is what each side will say about the other side. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At the camp this summer, one Israeli child borrowed a
counsellors’ head band and put it on his face and said “Look! I’m an Arab
terrorist!” Our image of the other side is crystalized at a young age, and our
natural response is collective fear of the other side. <b>And this is where we can
use this chance to plants seeds of change</b>. Sana, the counselor who heard his
comment, took this young boy aside and had a conversation with him about making
generalizations and breaking stereotypes. She stated that when he generalizes
about Arabs, that hurt her feelings because she is an Arab. The child
understood what he had said and apologized, and that was the end of it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Second, it is hard to go against society because we are dependent
on others to succeed. The camp cannot happen without children or counsellors. I
may be willing to overcome my fears surrounding the camp, but would the parents
do so too? Much of the success of this camp relies on the parents who
courageously trust our judgment, and send their children to our camp. This is a
loud statement that we, as a segment of believers, stand firm together despite
these dark times. <b>Through our ten years of work in children’s camps, we have
been successful in creating a community where Israeli and Palestinian parents
send their children to a reconciliation camp. We acknowledge and appreciate the
parents who send their children regularly, and especially this summer. </b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finally, it is hard because of the physical fear itself.
During the camp we heard sirens. We were well-prepared for them, and all of the
children and staff were in the safe room on time before we heard the Iron Dome
launch its anti-missiles to strike down the rockets. Similar to sleeping time,
Palestinian and Israeli children were in the same room together with their
counsellors. They would wait in the room lying on the floor with their hands
over their heads for ten minutes. <b>And during this time, the counsellors decided
how they would pass the time. Some of the counsellors decided to pray together,
others decided to sing, and others to play a game. It didn’t matter who these
children were, they were sharing the same experience. </b>One of the children
noted, “At first I was nervous when we were under our beds, waiting on the
boom, but then we started singing ‘Jesus Loves Me,’ and when we sang ‘We are
weak but He is strong,’ I knew He was strong enough to take care of us, and
then I was comforted.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After the ten minute wait, I would knock on the doors to
the rooms and ask them to come out. There wasn’t a single room where I saw
tears, but rather smiles and laughter. It was as if nothing had happened and
the program would continue.</span><b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I was inspired by the children’s level of
resilience and readjustment</b><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We have many reasons to fear in times of conflict, and at
the same time we have many opportunities to transform this fear into a glimpse
of hope to those around us. One of the counselors summarized this with a moving
observation. <b>In this camp we had an Israeli counselor whose brother ha</b></span><b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">d just
been deployed to Gaza with his army unit, and in the same room we had a
Palestinian camper whose grandparents live in Gaza. This counselor took care of this camper and
watched over him all day.</b></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> <span style="text-align: justify;">There is no other camp in our community that brings
together Israeli and Palestinian children, especially not in times like these.
I am proud to have been part of this camp, and grateful that I had the support
and encouragement to face my fears. There are hopeful opportunities awaiting us
if we are willing to stand up to the challenges in front of us. Our societies offered us fear and division,
but in the Messiah, we envisioned and lived out a better present that can make
a difference toward a better future. </span></span><br />

Why NOT! <h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">To volunteer or not to volunteer that is the question... </span></h2>
<div>
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
Musalaha like many non profit organizations is dependent on volunteers to impact the lives of so many people all over the world. Youth Leaders, camp counselors, office staff, and speakers give their time to spread the message of peace and reconciliation to the young and young at heart. We at Musalaha could use your help! If you are considering volunteering but need help with your decision making here is a list of pros and cons to help you with your decision: </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="color: magenta;">PROS: </span> <span style="color: #6aa84f;"> CONS:</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"> - already have two jobs </span><span style="color: magenta;">+ show potential employer you are responsible </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"> - study, study, study! too busy with studies</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: magenta;">+ build a network that will help you throughout life </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"> - need to spend time with friends</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: magenta;">+ Universities look highly on volunteer work in admissions decisions </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"> - too much preparation time</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: magenta;">+ improve personal skills such as empathy, listening, understanding, humility</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"> - I don't know how to work with youth</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: magenta;">+ expand your knowledge and view of the world</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"> - I don't want to commit for a long time</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: magenta;">+ improve your planning skills</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"> - I need to focus on my career</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: magenta;"> + create strong friendships built on common interest </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: magenta;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: magenta;">+ invest in the future your community & country </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: magenta;">+ show compassion for others </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: magenta;">+ learn about yourself </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="color: blue;">And if that is not enough here are some great people through history who volunteered!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Mother Theresa, Mahtam Ghandia, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Los Angesles Laker Jordan Farmar, David Beckham, Messi, and Jesus</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Even with all these benefits our primary motivation for volunteering should not be to help ourselves,we are who we are because someone gave of themselves for us, we therefore have the opportunity to contribute to building people who will lead the world of our children and theirs. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">In July I was able to go to all three of our summer camps (3 weeks of hanging
out with kids? YES PLEASE!) in Hebron, Taybeh and Baptist Village. These 3
camps were definitely my favorite part of my time here, I got to play with
kids, talk to leaders and children, and see Musalaha in action. I loved
watching the kids play, and being able to join in. They reminded me of my
siblings, they played tricks on me, danced with me tried to tickle me and
chased me until I was out of breath. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">At the Baptist Village camp as well as forming close relationships with the
girls in my cabin; I was able to make friends with some of the youth who had
come along to be counselors. The friends I made at camp made the experience
much better, as we had (very) competitive card games, told jokes and people
tried to copy the way I talk. One of the funniest memories I have from these
friendships is the nickname I was given, on the first day of camp I had 2
councilors calling me Benjamin. By the end of camp every councilor and most of
the campers called me Benjamin!</span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I have attended local youth leader training and meet
young people whose efforts to make real, significant change in their
communities have left me awestruck and hopeful. </span></i></div>
<i><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"></span></i><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><i>Learning about how they get young people involved with community projects that
show them that even as youth they have an important role to play in their

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Besides the camps, my other highlight was when I got to meet the 14 youth who
were going to Holland. Although this was no big, exciting event, I left excited
about what would happen on the Holland trip, and I wasn’t even going!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">When we had a reunion last week, I couldn’t wait to see everyone again and find
out how they enjoyed the trip. I was
inspired as I heard stories of how people had changed, what they learnt, and
what they want to do now. I loved hearing
about how a young Jewish guy felt each night after listening and learning from
his Palestinian friend, and watching the young Palestinian guy, who at first
felt intimidated and fearful in the presence of Jews, laugh and make jokes with
his new friends.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Sometimes, when I work in the office doing (very important) things like making
name tags or writing budgets, it can be easy to forget why I’m here and what
I’m really working for. At the reunion,
while I was listening to conversations go on around me I was reminded why I
flew for 24 hours away from my family and everything that is familiar to me,
because I love Musalaha. Because I am passionate about seeing young people,
about seeing YOU change your worlds.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Over the last six months I feel very lucky to be able to
participate as an outsider in several Musalaha events. At these events I have
learnt so much and if I had to say one thing that I have learnt about
reconciliation, <i>is that it is possible. </i>As I have had the chance to live
here I can see how as a young person in this environment it would be easy to
become cynical, discouraged and hopeless for the future, but I have been
encouraged and incredibly inspired by everyone I have met through Musalaha and
the hope you posses. To everyone that I have had the chance to meet here, thank
you for all you’ve taught me.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-small; text-align: justify;">Living here has been such an adventure as I have experienced
living in a completely different culture surrounded by people who speak other
languages. One morning an old man said good morning to me and I complimented
him on his roses. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-small; text-align: justify;">I was given roses every day that week and once I was even given a fig! This
would never happen where I’m from. I am now preparing to go home, back to my
family and back to my life. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-bidi;">Recently one of our women’s groups went through their second
training on the subject of trauma. In our previous trauma conference we focused
on family trauma, losses in our communities, and factors necessary for healing.
In this follow-up conference, we discussed domestic and intergenerational aspects
of trauma. Domestic trauma is a subject many of us are aware of due to media
and public awareness initiatives, but intergenerational trauma is something
that was new to many of us. Intergenerational trauma, otherwise known as
complex, historical or ancestral trauma is a relatively new focus within
psychology that deals with the experience of violence suffered by a group of
people that is then passed on to successive generations. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

address both these areas of trauma, as I failed to grasp the relevance of
domestic trauma to reconciliation in an intergroup forum. Yet, as the
conference went on, the more I understood as the similarities between domestic
and intergenerational trauma were explained. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

intergenerational trauma: first, the trauma that Israelis and Palestinians have
suffered due to external perpetrators, respectively; and second, the trauma
Israelis and Palestinians have caused each other. The external sources of
Palestinian trauma were caused by Ottoman oppression and British Colonialism,
particularly in the aftermath of the Arab Revolt of 1936. The Israelis, on the
other hand, have suffered intergenerational trauma as a result of
anti-Semitism, carried out through a history of discrimination, pogroms, and
most notably, during the Holocaust. Domestically, Israelis suffer from trauma
due to the cycles of terror attacks carried out by Palestinians. Palestinians
suffer domestic trauma as a result of the Israeli occupation and military
attacks by Israelis. Both sides cause and continue trauma against the other. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

come up with a string of justifications for their behavior, or blame the other
for their own abusive behavior – anything to avoid taking responsibility. On a collective level, the idea of who to
blame is utilized to excuse the use of violence. <i>Israel takes certain
military measures because it has the right to defend itself from Palestinian
attacks. On the other hand, the Palestinian militia groups hold the same claim to
justify retaliation to Israeli military attacks. Both point fingers at the
other, and thus excuse their own use of violence.<b> <o:p></o:p></b></i></span></div>

when discussing atrocities such as genocide. <i>The sporadic news about peace

turning fantasy of abuse into reality. On a collective level, the perpetrator
plans the type and level of attack based on a range of factors. <i>Palestinians
claim that the Israeli occupation has enforced a siege on Gaza since 2006 and

violence, murder and suffering of innocent Palestinians and Israelis taking
place as a result of the recent outbreak in Gaza and Israel is another cycle of
abuse compounding the past cycles of violence. Each side tries to shift the
blame on the other side. And each side attempts to claim moral superiority in
order to bring shame to the other side's method of fighting. Both sides will
claim that the timing and the force of the attacks have been planned ahead to
serve many political or personal interests. All this causes and maintains a cycle
of systematic trauma to both Palestinians and Israelis. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

have learned that there are many causes of trauma, and that trauma functions on
its own cycle. Just as domestic violence carries with it a lot of abuse, so
does the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Do we need to wait for our leaders to
stop this cycle? Or can we be the voice in the wilderness – in the midst of the
conflict – that calls our peoples to repentance, redemption, and reconciliation?
We want to be agents of hope to our people, and we want to anchor those who are
suffering and hurting. We remember the words of the Psalmist who wrote “Though
you have made me see troubles many and bitter, you will restore my life again;
from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up. You will increase my
honor and comfort me once more” (Psalm 71:20-21). We believe that our present
conflict and suffering is not the end, as it says in Proverbs, “Do not let your
heart envy sinners, but always be zealous for the fear of the Lord. There is
surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off” (Proverbs
23:17-18). It is this future hope we strive for, and we ask for your continued
prayers for peace and restoration during this troubled time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Dear friends, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">During these times, we are surrounded with voices of separation and violence*. Just because we hear them, it doesn't mean that we are not affected by them. And we are pushed into taking a stance. In one of our chapters in the Curriculum, we talk about conflict and we conclude that it is an inevitable part of life. Conflict can be at work, with friends, family and neighbours. Moreover, within our context, we are reminded that we, Palestinians and Israelis, are in a complicated and vicious conflict. Our peoples are suffering and hurting. Consequently, we put our relationships with the other side in question, and we doubt the possibility of peace. We feel rather small and insignificant to the larger voices around us. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">However, I don't believe we, Palestinians and Israelis, are destined to war. And as a result I ask myself, is my voice being heard? I don't want to throw slogans and political positions to my other. I think it is a time to challenge those around me. I think it is a time to challenge myself to see the way God sees me and my enemy . I think it is a time to challenge myself to see what opportunities lay in front of me, and how I can call you to join me. </span></div>
