VIOLENCE AND PEACE
     
 


Israel-Palestine







Iraq





How will peace ever come to this place?

"For me, to end war means to understand that all bloods are equal and that killing in a guerrilla fighting is not more cruel than killing by tanks and airplanes, that sophisticated rockets and home-made bombs kill just the same, and that it takes so little to kill a child and so much to keep her alive."
DR. NURIT PELED-ELHANAN, mother of Smadar Elhanan, 13, killed Sept. 1991 in a suicide bombing in Jerusalem





"There are traumatized children on both sides and it is invidious to try to quantify the suffering."
Rev. Lucy Winkett, Minor Canon of St. Paul's Cathedral in London, to the Guardian, Feb. 14, 2002





"All we have are our children. Our children are our land and our life, and we'd do anything to protect them...Our people have struggled and we are tired. We want to live and we want our children to live. But our children keep dying."
Mother of Mohammad Dawood, 15, killed Oct. 1, 2000 to Wendy Pearlman, Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, May 2002
