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.

IEA works to promote genuine coexistence and sustainable peace, through joint community building on the grassroots level, using interactive interfaith dialogue as its vehicle. The apolitical and all-inclusive approach of the organization and its activities enable the successful participation of a very wide range of participants and thus to continuously build a true grassroots movement which constitutes the human infrastructure for peace in the Holy Land. In its twenty-two years of existence, the IEA has held more than 4,900 programs, with many thousands of participants (estimated in more than 20,000). A most significant fact is that the participants in IEA programs include people of all political and religious views, as well as all ages, genders, walks of life etc; and that the vast majority of them have met 'the other' for the first time through IEA. As of this date the IEA has founded 126 ongoing community-groups of interfaith encounter – from the Upper Galilee to Eilat, including 39 groups that bring together on a regular basis Israelis and West Bank Palestinians.
