What People Say

WHO said WHAT about Sixty Years, Sixty Voices?

“The foundations for lasting peace in the Middle East are embedded in the voices of these Israeli and Palestinian women. They know war and they know peace, they know weakness and strength and they know the human heart. In a torn land they find a common ground built out of wisdom, experience and because they have walked the walk. Here they stand and speak out, if we listen there is hope.”
- Mariane Pearl, documentary filmmaker, journalist and author of the memoir A Mighty Heart: The Brave Life and Death of My Husband, Danny Pearl

“My hope for Sixty Years, Sixty Voices is that it will become a catalyst for other conversations between circles of Palestinian and Israeli women, and that soon more women will be involved in the peace process itself. Women respond to stress with conversation rather than anger and withdrawal, have skills in listening and finding commonalities, and patience. These are the very qualities that peacemakers need. My hope is that Israeli and Palestinian male leaders will read this book and on reflection, they will realize the necessity for women to be involved in bringing peace to the region. Maternal concern for their children is a foundation on which women make necessary compromises and build trust, on which peace can be built. That this book is in Arabic, Hebrew and English makes it especially potent as a means of connection.”
- Jean Shinoda Bolen, M.D., Jungian analyst, psychiatrist, author of Urgent Message From Mother and The Millionth Circle

“Sixty Years, Sixty Voices is important because it shows us that peace will come to the Middle East when we realize that generosity of spirit must replace power and domination—and that this is no longer a fantasy, but a growing on-the-ground reality.”
- Rabbi Michael Lerner, Editor of Tikkun Magazine

“Sixty Years, Sixty Voices uses the format of individual story telling by 30 Israeli and 30 Palestinian women to paint the picture of our mutual destiny. Listen carefully. Peace is possible and practical.”
- Lisa Witter, COO, Fenton Communications, co-author of The She Spot: Why Women Are Changing the World–And How to Reach Them
