Peace Tribe Rising
Peace Tribe Rising is all about empowering the peacemakers and people who are committed to living together in peace. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict can be viewed as a battle between two tribes with competing religious, national, and historical narratives and identities. We are empowering a new, shared identity: the Peace Tribe. Together, we are unfolding a future of reconciliation, peace and human rights for all the people of the holy land. We come from a wide range of backgrounds: Israelis and Palestinians, Jews, Muslims and Christians, and supporters of all stripes, colors and creeds, in the Middle East, the United States, and around the world. PTR is a project of the Middle East Peace Civic Forum, a 501c3 nonprofit organization.
