Can you talk about some of the successes that you've seen?

I think it's still early to talk about successes. We're only in the early days in regard to this as well, but people are thinking differently, along differently lines. People are coming to the conclusion that there is something they can do which they haven't done before. People are starting to think that they should be aware that they are not political, that they are not oriented toward a certain solution of the process, and people are coming to the conclusion that they are very important to the solution of the conflict, perhaps more than they've anticipated. This is not a social club, this is a very important NGO, perhaps the most important regarding the conflict.1
  • 1Follow-up in November 2004: In regard to the Forum, we've made a lot of internal changes. Our former General Manger and one of the founders of the organization, Yitzhak Frankenthal, has stepped down and Boaz Kitain, the former head of the educational program, becoming our new General Manger. Among other roles, Boaz has been the headmaster of the school in Neve Shalom-Wahat al-Salam, which is a truly unique Arab Jewish community near Jerusalem. We are also working closely with some of the most gifted Palestinian and Israeli scholars specializing, among other issues, in the psychology of the conflict.
