A full-day gathering to create hope, engage Palestinians and Jews in dialogue, and raise awareness for Standing Together.
The Israel-Palestine violence is at a historic low in terms of the death toll and polarization. Emotions have spilled into Canada, and we’re all affected by an increase in polarization, fear, and isolation.
The goal of the Canada Peace Summit is three fold:
(1) to raise awareness of Standing Together;
(2) fundraise for Standing Together; and
(3) help de-polarize citizens locally, in Canada.
The ‘Standing Together’ movement, theory, and though template has inspired us, as Canadian Jews and Palestinians, to see a way out of the cycle of violence. We want to knit our communities back together, by reducing polarization. We’d like to expose Canadian Jews and Palestinians to each other, since there is evidence that repeated in person exposure helps to dismantle racism and ignorance. Finally, we’d like to leverage Canada’s historic peacekeeping culture in this critical area. The Summit itself is organized by volunteers of the Toronto Friends of Standing Together, under the charitable structural governance of the New Israel Fund of Canada.
The Ottawa live screening is organized by volunteers of the Ottawa Friends of Standing Together. Snacks and refreshments will be provided, thanks to support from the New Israel Fund of Canada.
