| Avigail Szor and Sima Awwad are two young women - one Israeli, one Palestinian - each just beginning to shape her adult life. Both have experienced deep pain, lived through loss, and grown up in a reality filled with violence and complexity. And yet, from within that pain, they are looking forward. They are choosing hope. They are daring to imagine a different future - one rooted in the understanding that two peoples live here, and neither is going anywhere. “This hatred - it’s leading us nowhere. The way forward is to imagine a different, shared future. Our lives here cannot be separated. Israelis live here. Palestinians live here. No one is going anywhere. So if we stop fighting against that truth, we can start building a generation that knows how to live together.” “As a human being, I believe both sides should live together. Let’s simply live together. After all, our lives are already intertwined.” | | All we can do is pause in awe and listen to the clear, courageous voices of the younger generation - a generation that dares to look ahead, to believe in a future here, and to imagine a life of freedom, humanity, and equality. | | The Israeli-Palestinian Joint Memorial Ceremony will take place on April 29 at 8:30 PM Jerusalem Time. This year, due to the current security situation, the event will be held in a secure, invite-only format in Israel, screened in Palestine to an invited audience, and broadcast live around the world. Additionally, we are organizing numerous public screenings in many international cities which will be announced soon.
The Joint Memorial is a conscious choice - a choice to embrace hope, to believe in the younger generation, and to envision a future that can exist here, differently. But we cannot do this alone. To make this future possible, we need you.
