My name is Ayelet, I’m Jewish, and was part of a group of Arab Palestinian and Jewish educators who had been meeting regularly to build understanding and connection. At one point, we traveled together to Northern Ireland to learn firsthand how Catholics and Protestants—once bitter enemies—found a way to end the violence and live, more or less, in peace.
During a bus tour, we stopped at a memorial wall honoring Palestinians who had been killed in Gaza since the war began. There was no mention of the Jews who were r***d and murdered on October 7th or of the alive and dead hostages or of the soldiers killed in the war.
The Palestinian participants walked over to the wall to pay their respects, to mourn. I joined them.
The other Jews in our group stayed back. Maybe they felt hurt, angry, erased. Maybe they couldn’t bring themselves to approach that wall.
Later that evening, back at the hostel as we cooked dinner together, we talked about it—openly, honestly. We listened. And somehow, in that conversation, we found our way back to each other.

A story that came up in one of our playback theater performances as shared with me by Effie and Rina.

Slavery did not end in Egypt.
Many remain enslaved today—in body, in spirit, in silence.
We, too, are not fully free when we turn away from the suffering of others.
We are in chains when we silence our truth, or when fear or judgment keeps us quiet.
Freedom begins with courage—
the courage to care, to speak,
to feel your pain, your joy, and to act.
This Passover, may you gently face whatever holds you back.
May you come to know it, even befriend it—
and in doing so, begin to loosen its hold.
May you speak with clarity, move with purpose,
and become—whether a little or a lot—more free.

***Connect before you correct***
How do you activate peace? One relationship at a time
The latest episode of Women Ending War tackles the vital and challenging work of Non-Violence Communication, the tools of grassroots peace building that have the potential to change minds and change relationships.
In this riveting conversation with Nadia Mahmoud Giol and Anat Asia, ten-year partners in NVC dialogue groups between Palestinians and Israelis and founders of the group, Insan, we talk about language, connections, and what it takes to break through the barriers built in conflict to create a new reality.
