However, it is common knowledge that Israeli violence – including the violence acts of Jewish Israeli children and teens – towards Palestinian Israeli citizens is frequently motivated by racism, unbridled hatred, or zenophobia, and not by self-defense in any way. You can read about the latest example of such shameful Jewish Israeli violence in a recent article posted in the New York Times, for instance.

Jews want peace. They have for long before 1948.

Welcome to the TikkunTree, Richard, and thanks very much for your kind words about this project.
The olive tree in the header is a detail of a large-scale tile mural by Jerusalem-based Armenian tile artist Neshan Balian, who has generously given me permission to use the image of his “Olive Tree of Jerusalem” mural (link here).
Any chance of your contributing a few leaves to the TikkunTree? or spreading the word? With the fragility of the situation in Israel-Palestine at the moment, and the divisions within the American Jewish communities, there’s more need for peaceful foliage than ever!

Jewish Voice for Peace-Detroit is planning a Tu B’shvat seder to kick of JVP’s “Trees of Reconciliation” Campaign to raise funds to donate 3,000 olive saplings to Palestinian farmers for planting in the coming year. I am designing an invitation and found the wonderful tile art you use on your website and was hoping we could use it on our flyer (with a credit to your website and the artist–to lead more people to your project for peace). Please let me know asap if this will be acceptable. Many thanks!

Barbara, The olive tree in the header is a detail of a large-scale tile mural by Jerusalem-based Armenian tile artist Neshan Balian, who has generously given me permission to use the image of his “Olive Tree of Jerusalem” mural (link here). You are more than welcome to provide a link to the TikkunTree project, but should contact Neshan to obtain permission to use his image.
