An initiative called Fresh Start has won the 5th annual Victor J. Goldberg IIE Prize for Peace in the Middle East.
The prize was presented to Nimrod Goren, the director of the Young Israeli Forum for Cooperation and Hakam Jadallah, director of the Palestinian Youth Forum for Cooperation. The joint work is called Fresh Start.
Fresh Start seeks to develop leadership in young Israeli and Palestinian professionals to address conflict and find ways to take action together for a more peaceful future.
“The intent of this award is to recognize innovation and reward those who are courageous and committed enough to work together to overcome the religious, cultural, ethnic and political issues which divide the Middle East,” Goldberg, of Scarsdale, said.
IIE is the Institute of International Education.

At this point anything to bring peace is well worth it!
As long as someone thinks their god is any different or better than nother’s god. You will never have peace.
As long as you take land away and not allow people to live.. there will never be peace.
People have a warlike nature in them. they will always find a erason to make conflict. Its in our nature..
