In this day and age, it can be difficult to find time for meaningful conversations, let alone meaningful conversations that bring about positive change. That is why the growing movement of “calling Israel” holds such great promise.
Call Israel is a campaign that encourages citizens of the world to reach out to Israeli citizens through phone calls, helping to foster conversations that are both inclusive of different cultures, and respectful for the other side.
It was first started in 2012, with the facilitation of the OneVoice organization, a joint Israeli-Palestinian organization that “empowers people to realize a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.” This call to action gives individuals the chance to reach out to fellow citizens of their country, as well as the citizens of Israel, to start meaningful conversations that bridge the divide between them.
The result has been an increase in mutual understanding and compassion—all without falling into the traps of extremism. Calling Israel opens up a bridge of shared understanding through constructive dialogue. It allows us to hear the war stories of those affected by the conflict, as well as the hope and determination of those dedicated to quieting it. In a world of misunderstanding, this can be an invaluable tool.
What’s more, calling Israel can even benefit the environment. Our conversations about the conflict too often only take place in the virtual world, leaving no room for any tangible good to come of them. This phone campaign can break the divide between different cultures, but it also helps bridge the physical gap between them.
The beauty of calling Israel is that it can take place from anywhere in the world. Whether you’re at home, in the office, or on the go, you can reach out through your device of choice, from any corner of the world to start constructive conversations.
The hope and dreams of many will surely be found in such conversations, signaling that recovery from the years of distress is possible, and that peace between Israelis and Palestinians isn’t just a dream but is something that can be achieved through meaningful dialogues, understanding, and respect. Let us call Israel, and incite the hope of a consistent, shared future for all.
