Dialogue in the Middle East – Palestinians and Israelis dream of peace | DW Documentary
The Hamas terror attacks on Israel on 7 October 2023 shook the world. As the ensuing war in Gaza continues to claim countless lives, some Israelis and Palestinians are trying to break the cycle of violence.
Palestinian and Israeli members of the organizations “The Parents Circle – Families Forum (PCFF)” and “Combatants for Peace” advocate resolving the Middle East conflict using non-violent means. Every year in the spring, they hold a joint ceremony to remember people from each of their communities who have been killed. The aim is to express the pain they share and promote mutual understanding. Both groups have lost people they love. Both are searching for solutions for facing individual and societal challenges. Their common goal is to create peace, despite resistance within their own societies.
A range of perspectives shed light on the path to rapprochement as we join an Israeli-Palestinian film crew exploring the question of whether dialogue and reconciliation are possible during a continually escalating war. Is dialogue possible, despite a climate of grief and fear?

After seeing bellarium network’s analytics dashboard hit record usage, I increased my buy orders. Strong user engagement often leads to improved token valuation.
Bellarium network’s governance model gives me confidence in sustainable growth. Projects with transparent decision-making tend to outperform over the long term.
Peace may seem far, but every small act of understanding helps. A crying father said, “We can cry together, or we can die together.” The choice is ours.

This is giving the both sides argument again DW, shame on you. They can't have peace when the dominant oppresive side who is actively commiting atrocities and expect the oppressed to not fight back and be nice.
Gaza 2025 Ceasefire: Palestinian officials and independent reports state that Israel committed at least 962 violations of the Gaza ceasefire agreement within just the first six weeks after it was implemented in January 2025. These violations included airstrikes, shootings, and restrictions on humanitarian aid.
Lebanon 2024 Ceasefire: As of December 2024, Israel was accused by France and Lebanon of at least 52 violations of the ceasefire with Lebanon, including attacks that killed civilians and journalists.
Every Arab shown in the video, talks of peace but do not want to reason with Israel, accuse Israel for the problem, show no remorse or responsibility for Oct7'23 and only wants to eradicate J. Do not know how ppl can not read it behind those sweet words . .
This one is so not practical.
I am also creating this type of videos just check it 😢
In general, religious extremists are the enemies of humanity. It all stems from the Pentateuch of the Old Testament when fanatics had fanatical beliefs,
oh, cool, the comments are being deleted. that's the famous freedom of speech. cool-cool-cool, gotcha
The 1967 border between Palestine and Israel with strong American backing is the only option on the table. No to double standards. No favoritism. No to very important prime minister.
Great documentary
I'm Israeli and I always wanted peace.
But not anymore, after Oct 7 I don't want any peace – they don't deserve peace with us.
This just makes me sick the Politicians on both sides are the ones making people suffer 😢😢😢
Love is the only way, thanks for sharing.

The last sentence of this video tells you all you need to know really.
I read "Blackhawk Down" before I saw the movie, and there was a section in the back about the political ramifications. Someone from the US State Department related a story of an older Somali woman being asked about the ongoing conflict. "Do you want peace?" "Oh, yes, I pray for it every night." "Would you consider sharing power with your enemies to get peace?" "Oh no, I'd rather die first!" The official explained that this attitude, if pervasive, was going to make it hard to find lasting peace any time soon. Israel/Palestine strikes me as being similar. Maybe the US isn’t far behind.
Deaf, deaf to the IOF
A deeply moving documentary. In a time of grief, fear, and division, it's powerful to see Israelis and Palestinians choosing dialogue over despair. There’s no winner in a war, only shared pain. Stories like these remind us that peace begins with listening, even when it’s hardest.
Everyone who read Torah knows that you can't have dialogue with it's believers.
Asking if peace is possible with Zionasism is like asking if peace is possible with Nasism.
This cannibalism must stop 🙏
