Thank you so much for this summary of your previous endeavours to plan and pull through peace and conflict solving projects. I recognize Professor Johann Galtung, since I myself is a Political Science student of Upsala universit y, trying my hand at a Ph D on low politics between the five Nordic countries, this in the 80ies. I have long been working with the Nordic Council, interparliamentary organ between the five, so I knew the field. Agreeing to all your points of view I find the words process and common ground being key.
Thus I was most astounded by the Naomi Wolf`s piece on her youth in Israel, when no contacts, nothing, not a word were exchanged with the Palestinians, and that in spite of the constant piece talks held at the time. The conclusion must be that the latter were not seriously intended then, because if so there would clearly have been an aboundance of cultural exchanges, sports competitions, team building, language courses, common choirs and the like. Maybe all along some higher powers never wanted any peaceful solution because of other more high ranking plans - in the way?
