Palestinian and Israeli members of the organizations "The Parents Circle - Families Forum (PCFF)” and "Combatants for Peace” advocate resolving the Middle East conflict using non-violent means. Every year in the spring, they hold a joint ceremony to remember people from each of their communities who have been killed. The aim is to express the pain they share and promote mutual understanding. Both groups have lost people they love. Both are searching for solutions for facing individual and societal challenges. Their common goal is to create peace, despite resistance within their own societies.
