Economic and cultural choices

The reverse revolution is an inner revolution that becomes an outer one: to create a healthier society, we start by changing the consciousness of the individual – and from there, by changing their economic and cultural choices.

Economic choices: what I consume and produce, how I use money, and how I relate to owning property – renting, letting and more.

Cultural choices: meeting the real other – do I surround myself with people who think like me, or go out to meet directly the people I disagree with; the use of technology – limiting it in time and place; and content – consuming and producing less, and consciously choosing the cultural content I consume.

Ask Project

The Ask Project collects questions from all over the world about the conflict in the Middle East, and goes out to the field for face-to-face conversations with people from every sector: Israeli Jews, Israeli Arabs, Palestinians, settlers, ultra-Orthodox Jews, and every other part of Israeli and Palestinian society.

As part of the project, we went to Palestinian villages to have long conversations with Palestinians, and I saw that when you come with humility, even people with the strongest views against Israel can open up and change their minds – and that it's possible to make peace with dignity. We also went to talk with the Samaritan community.

Just Saying

A filmed project to bridge the different narratives of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict: a series of conversations between me and Ahmed Maswadeh – Palestinian and Israeli, Muslim and Jew – aiming to present as broad and objective a picture as possible, and to arrive at new ideas for a solution.
