The Parents Circle – Families Forum is a joint Israeli-Palestinian organization of over 600 families, all of whom have lost an immediate family member to the ongoing conflict. Instead of seeking revenge, they have chosen a path of reconciliation. Their vision is that any future peace agreement should be based on both sides’ empathy and respect for each other’s pain and dignity. Bassam Aramin and Robi Damelin will describe their personal stories of loss and their road to reconciliation.
