What does “Shrinking the Conflict” mean and could it spell the end for left and right in Israel?

Philosopher Micha Goodman is an unofficial counsel to Israel’s Prime Minister Naftali Bennett. Could his idea of “shrinking the conflict” outlined in the book Catch 67 really be a pathway to peace, or is it an illusion that provides no solution at all?

The four tribes of Israel: Rivlin's New Israeli Order

Exploring how the "four tribes" of Israel each perceive themselves as the majority and the minority, both powerful and under threat, at the same time. This session will explore both the stereotypes and realities of what motivates the behaviour and identity of Arab/Palestinian, Haredi, Religious Zionist and Secular Israelis.

Ittay is a thoughtful, engaging, and articulate educator and leader in the peacebuilding field. He leads a team that navigates an incredibly challenging context, helping young Israelis and Palestinians in Jerusalem -- the center of it all -- connect, begin to understand each other, and ultimately build strong relationships of trust and friendship. He can do all of this because he takes them on a thoughtful journey and himself gains their trust. I've seen it firsthand, and it's both mind-blowing and inspiring. He's also an active participant and leader in the field of professionals focused on peacebuilding, helping to advance partnerships and deeper, wider impact. If you think the Middle East is a mess today, you don't want to imagine it without Ittay and his work.
