Life is all about stories.

I am interested in the stories we are told as children. These stories teach us who to fear, who to hate, what to hope for and what to believe.

​

As we grow older, we get the chance to rewrite some of those stories before we pass them on to our children.

This is not a privilege; this is a responsibility.

​

My generation in Israel and Palestine was born during the first Intifada, grew up during the second Intifada and lived through three wars in Gaza in less than six years.

​

The conflict was the story of the upbringing of our generation. It is our responsibility to make sure we rewrite this story, because a conflict we pass on to our children, is a conflict we lost.

And this is why I am rewriting the story – In Washington D.C. with fellow Israelis and Palestinians in the New Story Leadership summer internship program, or with hundred of thousands of Israeli citizens, a generation in the streets, demanding justice and peace.
