Colliding Dreams

We find ourselves in an era where the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which has persisted for over a hundred years, remains a critical issue on the global political and social stage. This conflict has profoundly affected both Israelis and Palestinians from the very beginning. At its core, the narrative is about two groups vying for national identity and self-determination in a small yet highly significant region. The tragedy of this situation, as noted by Israeli author Amos Oz and Palestinian academic Sari Nusseibeh, arises from a clash between the rights of two peoples, each with equally valid desires for nationhood and self-expression, within a single, contested territory.
