I, too, wonder about how to open a space for dialogue between antagonists in an extreme conflict, such as supporters of the Palestinian cause vs. supporters of the Israeli cause. Right now, these groups stand on either side of a fence yelling at each other, which has nothing to do with anything constructive. Anyone out there with experience or conjectures. Thanks for all the generosity I see on the list.
