Yes, I think there are many ways. But I think that trust and confidence is low. People are not willing to move forward. Nonetheless, it should be noted that mosques, churches and synagogues have been dialoguing in various parts of the country. There is an exchange happening, but it is not at a point of critical mass. It is low-level and while such exchanges are opening hearts and minds, there is always more to be done. The need is always there.

Perhaps writing a poem, painting a portrait, composing music, planting olive trees in the promised land.  Maybe we start a SIRIUS radio station that can be heard every where and where we just talk and get others to call, email and chat with us!

Well, such cooperation in the arts does have an affect, albeit minimal. Will it change foreign policy? Will it spark peace in the Middle East? No. But it does help to humanize the ways that political and military avenues do not.

Besides, my voice is really bad and my tone is even worse. If I want to really annoy my husband, I sing to him!!! So I think we would fail miserably in the singing department, actually we would probably cause more conflict than peace–at least between the two of us!

Israeli media has had for the last 3 weeks a real debate. The Left among the Jews think that the Arab participation misleads and spins Israel's real intentions. But many disagree and say that music is an artistic venture. Can you separate art from daily harsh reality? I come from documentary and news and have never been able to separate them from the issues at hand.

So even if we agree to appear with a guitar together, does this make a difference? Maybe for some audiences it would mean that if David and Souheila can work it out, so can we?

We need to do a Hebrew and Arabic version together...

I think that Iran is willing to listen if it ensures that the current regime stays in place. Obama needs to ensure that any reconciliation will not mean the end of the current regime. If Obama can turn a new page with Iran and bring Israel into the picture, then we can say he will have done the impossible. But tensions between Iran and Israel are too high let alone Iran and the U.S. Iran has been courting the U.S for years. Certainly, Ahmadinejad’s Holocaust denial has not been helpful. Neither has  recent Israel’s wars against Lebanon and the Palestinians in addition to its past wars and invasions, which many of us has forgotten. These aggressions have served to fuel the anti-Israel rhetoric coming out of Tehran. The gap between the two countries is large. By bold moves, I hope you mean by both Israel and Iran in addition to the U.S...

You need to give Obama at least a 100 days. Even the longest march starts with words and attitudes. I believe that if Obama and the Arab world can not create a bridge,than no one else can. Stana Schwiue- please be patient-in Arabic.

So watch what he does and not what he says. He will be out of Iraq sooner than later, and will talk to Israel in a different way.
