Among the messages the speakers were keen to impart was: 'Stop importing our conflict' said Robi. She said to see the polarising effects of people in other countries taking on either an inflexible pro-Israeli or pro-Palestinian stance was distressing, that creating opposing camps is not 'part of the solution' but 'part of the problem.' Seham stressed that both Israeli and Palestinian civilians were fatigued by conflict and that 'it is enough.'
Both speakers travel the globe to share the PCFF's core message: It won't stop until we talk. They have tirelessly spoken and lobbied anyone who will listen, and also speak to school children in Israeli and Palestinian classrooms. In humanising this conflict, they remind us that we are all mothers, sisters, brothers, and fathers. So, want to do more than just pontificate?
