<p> Cher Kisskissbankers et visiteurs,</p> <p>  </p> <p> Voici un extrait du message d'Eslam, gazaoui, envoyé hier à l'équipe de Rony Edry de Peace Factory: "we, the new generation in Gaza knows nothing about the Israeli people, most of us have never seen an Israeli (...) I just see u in TV and internet and just the pictures of ur soldiers".</p> <p>  </p> <p> Notre initiative est apolitique et non partisane, elle poursuit un simple objectif de rencontre. Une rencontre qui ne prétends pas changer la réalité d'aujourd'hui mais qui travaille à un chantier sur le moyen et le long terme: celui du vivre-ensemble.</p> <p>  </p> <p> Merci pour votre soutien, merci de diffuser le lien de notre campagne et de nous aider à promouvoir </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p>
