THE ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN CONFLICT
There are so many troubles in this world, conflicts in every corner of the earth, and yet the greatest challenge of them all is to end the artificial divides of the Levant, the perception of the other between the peoples of Israel and Palestine. Recognizing that throughout the annals of history, no place has been more loved, fought for more intensely and generated such passion as the Holy Land, a peaceful solution here shall be the inspiration for the world to come together. How tragic it is that the spiritual center of the world for billions of people is also a battleground. What despair that brothers since time immemorial have sought to destroy rather than share and learn from one another. With the current, tragic war bringing more extreme suffering to the region, it's easy to give up on hope and still believe that one day peace and brotherhood will prevail. We believe we should never give up and we thrive to work for a new Middle East, a powerful Middle East, which shall shine the beacon of hope beyond all horizons. The People's Peace Initiative intends to help bringing about this new reality.
THE CULTURAL PEACE CENTER IN JERUSALEM
Making A Difference
The Cultural Peace Center will be the home of peace at the heart of the conflict, with Jerusalem as the central node of the People's Peace Initiative. Too long has the challenge of ending conflict been in the hands of a political class too concerned with holding power, dogged by ulterior motives.
EDUCATION
It is abundantly clear how fundamental quality education is to the enrichment of civilization. This means principles of life-long learning, opportunities for all and setting people on the path to self-actualization. The Cultural Peace Center will develop and facilitate 21st-century educational solutions. The people of the Middle East need to rediscover the beautiful and innovative spirit that created so many of the values that form the bedrock of humanity.
JOB CREATION
Thriving economies and high employment rates are vital for creating wealth on both sides, but also a culture of exchange and renewed trust in which to embrace former enemies. Too many people have to struggle through life and when backs are against the wall it is only natural that blame is laid at the feet of those you are told are the responsible for your misery. The Cultural Peace Center will bring together entrepreneurs to work ceaselessly to raise the standard of living across the region.
CULTURAL AND ECONOMIC UNION
The ultimate goal of the Cultural Peace Center is to bring about a Cultural and Economic Union in the region. Embracing the economic peace philosophy, the Cultural Peace Center shall make a compelling case through the success of its projects for a united region embracing a common future.
