‘I was born in Bethlehem. I’m one of 200,000 Palestinians living in Bethlehem. As a child I used to go to Jerusalem, to the Holy Sepulchre church, a special place for us Christians, and I swam in the sea in Tel Aviv. Things changed with the Intifada War. Curfews and bombs. Then they built the wall and now I need permission to go into Israel. I’ve been living with this division - and I don’t want my children to live the same way. I had never met an Israeli, only soldiers with guns. Then I went on a young adults’ trip with an organisation called Musalaha and had the chance to meet Israelis and even become friends with them. I still meet with them and we talk about reconciliation and how to accept each other. I hope for a peaceful solution, and I believe in the power of One I know.’
