Arab and Israeli Teens Shoot For The Moon

[Hossfly]

I recently posted a thread about Israeli and Palestinian boys playing baseball and helping cement relations for both peoples. This another exciting get-together.




Asaf Brimer spent 25 years in the Israeli air force and aerospace sector before an idea came into his mind like a shooting star across the horizon: He would bring Israeli Arab and Jewish students together through a collaborative research center focused on outer space.

Moona — a Space for Change officially opened in September last year in Majd Al-Kurum, a Muslim village 10 miles east of Acre (Akko) in the Western Galilee.

So far, it has attracted about 100 high school students – roughly a 50-50 split between Jewish and Muslim teens – for weekly courses in robotics, drones, 3D printing, electronics and other technologies related to outer-space exploration. Families from the area also are welcome at Moona.

Actually there is a school at the YMCA building in Jerusalem that has both Muslim and Jewish children in the hopes of encouraging the building of bridges as well.

If you're looking for a place where Jews and Palestinians don't mind each other at all, just check Hadassah children's section in Jerusalem. Yeah, it's sad, but still, those children mixing together, families, when you're in time of need you'll find there is no racism or hatred there.
