My 2014 NGO spoof became (happily) true in 2020

In 2014, I made this graphic to show how far off the idea of peace was between Israel and its Arab neighbors.


Muslim Voice for Peace:

We believe in two states for two peoples: Israel for the Jewish people and Palestine for the Palestinian Arab people
We believe that both sides must make compromises for peace
We believe that terrorism is always wrong
We desire a warm peace that includes cultural and trade relations to benefit both our peoples
We are willing to bring our message of true peace to everyone, Muslim and non-Muslim alike

Unfortunately, we don't exist.


The idea of Arabs actually believing these things - none of which are crazy ideas - was so far-fetched as to be ridiculous.

Then, in 2020, the UAE filled every single one of these bullet items! And it is much more impressive to have an entire nation believe these things than a small NGO. 

 (I'm not quite sure if Bahrain meets all of these criteria, although it is close. The jury is still out on Sudan and Morocco.)

I am very happy I can no longer make general statements about "Muslims" and "Arabs" not being interested in real peace with Israel. 






We have lots of ideas, but we need more resources to be even more effective. Please donate today to help get the message out and to help defend Israel.
