Canon
•
Tippett: these Israelis and Palestinians demonstrate that maintaining relationship across conflict is itself a form of resistance. The relationship doesn't solve the political problem — but it prevents the human problem from becoming total.
•
The participants: maintaining cross-conflict relationships requires daily courage that builds over years. Each meeting, each phone call, each public acknowledgment of the other's humanity is a small act of courage that makes the next one possible.
