Video clips of the other four conflicts between "self-described" states


 Palestine     -     Korea     -     Golan Heights     -     Kashmir/Punjab

Israel / Palestinian National Authority:
The Semitic School  

1. Promises: A preview of a movie about Israeli and Palestinian children growing up 20 minutes away from each other

2.
Neve Shalom - Wahat al-Salam is a mixed village of Israel Jews and Israeli Arabs that has an integrated school, with similar aims to Semitic School. The exceptions are that The Semitic School 
would be for Israelis and Palestinians, who are different from Israeli Arabs, and would aim to entice the most nationalistic and conservative of politicians on each side for their children - admittedly, not an easy task. 

3. 
Seeds of Peace offers reconciliation camps in the USA to Israeli and Palestinian teenagers as well as from the Cyprus, Afghanistan, and India/Pakistan conflicts.  Though it has won a lot of praise, it has shortcomings related to age, duration, location, and familial ties.  The participants are teenagers and thus do not have a clean socialization slate; the duration is for 1-2 weeks and not for the 16 years of one's formal education; the location is removed from the conflict, and thus some participants fall victim to the negative stimuli upon their return home; and lastly, there's no evidence there was a methodical effort to attract and enroll the children of the politicians on each side.  Click here for more on the issues of duration, location, participants' age, and their familial ties.

4.
