Partners of Peace

The debate between sassy and raffi.aida on the last post incited me to write again about the partners of peace in the Middle East.
I have already mentioned in one of my previous posts that we the Arabs don’t have the courage to say that we want peace with Israel despite everything. We hardly can find Arab peace activists, or lobbyers that live in the Middle East.

Partners of Peace…

Where to find those people?

I am still having problems defining where the change starts in the Middle East…
Is it a bottom-up or up-down process?

Or maybe it is a horizontal get together process?

So many studies have been conducted in the late 1990’s about the effect of AlJazeera in changing public opinions…
So many studies have been conducted on the effect of the internet in creating new public spheres…
Nowadays, there are many studies concerning the role of bloggers during the last summer war in Lebanon…

But what are the outcomes???

More extremism, more chaos, more fear of others, more separation…

Everything is being used in the Middle East to separate people instead of uniting them…
