Profile
- What motivated you to become involved in peace and conflict resolution?
- I believe that all individuals deserve to be treated with dignity and justice. Understanding that fear can cause blind hatred and build walls that will take decades, if not centuries to tear down. We cannot not let the cycle of hatred and violence continue, while so many die. If we continue to be silent, we are as guilty as the perpetrators.
- Please feel free to provide a short bio about yourself (no more than 3 paragraphs)
- I have a Master's from American University, Washington, DC in International Peace and Conflict Resolution. Currently I live in San Diego, California where I work with the San Diego Community College District. I also volunteer with organizations that work toward a just peace in Palestine and Israel.

You write metaphorically about walls resulting from the "blind hatred" that fear causes. Your photos of the wall or fence in Israel/Palestine ostensibly gives expression to this notion. However, the wall portrayed in your profile was built only because of the repeated attempts of suicide bombers to enter cities and towns within Israel proper (inside the "Green Line") to kill civilians. Though its precise route (extending over the "Green Line" into Palestinian territory) can rightfully be construed as a "land grab", its very construction was ONLY a result of repeated incursions of Hamas and Islamic Jihad suicide bombers. Hence, your caption-less pictures of the wall are completely lacking in context and are therefore highly tendentious. For some reason, I expected more thoughtful discourse on this site....
