A new vision for Palestinian-Israeli peace. The Two States, One Homeland initiative was born out of a series of meetings started by Israeli journalist Meron Rapoport and Palestinian activist Awni Al-Mashni. Meron Rapoport, born in Tel Aviv, worked in Yedioth Aharonoth, Haaretz and in the Israeli Educational Television, and writes for different media channels in Israel and abroad. Awni al-Mashni, born in the Dheisheh refugee camp in Bethlehem, is a Fatah political activist, graduate of the Bethlehem University and columnist in the Palestinian press. These meetings were joined by a line of Israeli and Palestinian activists who formulated our Statement of Principles over the course of many meetings. We consider ourselves one shared movement, divided into two separate branches – one Israeli and one Palestinian – both jointly and severally.

We are committed to manifesting a world where each one of us can participate fully, in a holistic and systemic way, to discover and enrich our unique qualities and experience our common humanity, on the individual and collective level. We do this by cultivating core capacities in individuals and collective systems. Developing these core capacities provides a solid basis for all life activities, including learning, creativity and inner resourcing. Practices that support the core capacities help children and adults understand how they frame their thinking, experience feelings, engage in imagining, discover motivations, and so forth. In a classroom or other group environment, these core capacities support the development of key competences and skills for lifelong learning. In the broadest sense, together and separately, they can be termed a key competence for living, communicating and functioning in society.
