Israel: The Middle East Non-Violence and Democracy group created a radio soap opera — Home Is Our Home
— targetted at young Palestinians and aimed at promoting nonviolent resolution to conflict.
The general message is to promote active nonviolence as an alternative resistance and as a philosophy,says MEND project coordinator Fadi Rabieh.It's about respect, individual responsibility, self-confidence, and educating people that nonviolence is the way to build a civil, democratic society. If people keep resisting in a violent way, that will be the same tool they use to solve conflict within their state...
...The key to disarming this opposition, says Rolt, lies in the writing.You don't tackle issues head-on,he says.You do it in a parallel way so that listeners identify with ideas, not a side, and recognize themselves in a middle ground.

Evangelism, witnessing and similar activitites go by one name here—, and is no different from spam for viagra, penis enlargement products and pornography. We do not take advertising. If you want to advertise your imaginary friend, please spend your own money on your own web space to do so. Any attempts to use the comments section for advertisements will be deleted, and the perpetrator barred, unless they are particularly stupid, in which case I reserve the right to pinch an idea from Teresa Nielsen Hayden and delete all the vowels.

Allowed HTML:
a href, b, br, p, strong, em, ol, ul, li, blockquote, q, pre. If your name has accents in it, things will work better if you use the XHTML entities for those letters. The same applies if you are using a word processor to compose your comment, then copying and pasting the text—either turn off curly quotes and avoid using em-dashes, or edit your comment after pasting to get rid of them. Garbled comments usually get deleted.
