Finding a transformative response to global conflict could be tremendous. To be capable of this we must raise ourselves to the highest possible point of our nature. One morning we will awake in clear light, a cool wind blowing away the mist, and see at once how silly we were, and we will look at each other in shame, and love each other.

Peace Brigades are composed of anyone involved in a conflict, with civilians and soldiers on each side, includes the following:
–  Meetings to explore perspectives on each side.
– Present a message of insight and immensity in a public square (including Reflect and Pledge).
–  Citywide learning, with lectures and other public forums.
–  Introduce Quest for Soldiers, Police, Security Guards, and Give Back the Night.
–  Words of wisdom from their religious tradition Jews and Muslims can offer each other.
– 'Celebration of the good' to read aloud sublime works on peace.

Principles
– Understand the grievances and suffering of all sides.
– Seek the good in the opposing side.
– Celebrate the opposing culture.
– Explore one's own role in aggression.
– Active collaboration with any and all people and organizations.

Is it possible to end the conflict before it begins?
