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!

Ok- I believe you. Singing is not the way to go. But maybe creating together a new yet to be defined collaboration, aside from the blog could be an option. With Jamal, my Palestinian Mosaic partner, I created a film that expressed new ways of looking at the conflict. The Israeli-Palestinian one.

Is there a joint media effort that could make us a bridge, so other people will be less suspicious of each other? Especially across our kind of “divide.”

I read today at www.forward.com that Jewish communities finally decided that they can talk to other Muslim groups in the USA. 7 yearsafter 9/11... the truth is that both sides were not open to each other. Is there a way that we can bring Mosques and Synagogues closer?

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...
