For Peace Campers, Terrorism is Familiar
The Hartford Courant

Sep 22, 2001 / No Comments

BY MARY K. FEENEY | Two weeks ago, when Mariam Bazeed flew from Cairo to New York for a short visit, she was thinking about beginning studies at Manhattanville College in January and speaking Sept. 9 at a benefit for Seeds of Peace, the summer camp that is helping finance her education.

On Sept. 11, the 17-year-old Egyptian could only think of going home.

“I called my mother. She knew I would be flying back, and she was very sick and crying on the phone,” she said.

The Sunday before the terrorist hijackings and attacks, Bazeed and two other teenagers, an Israeli and a Palestinian, were in Detroit to raise money for the Seeds of Peace camp in Oxford, Maine, which promotes peace among children whose homelands are war zones. Among the 600 at the dinner benefit at the Ritz Carlton Hotel were leaders from Detroit’s Arab and Jewish communities.

“We raised a half-million dollars. That’s the good news. And 12 hours later, planes crashed into buildings,” said Barbara Gottschalk, executive vice president of Seeds of Peace.

“I had the other two [Seeds of Peace members] up in the air at a quarter to nine,” Gottschalk said. “I went back to my car, turned on the radio, and realized I had just totally lost control.”

The two other “Seeds,” as they call themselves, made it to their destinations, and Bazeed was scheduled to leave for Cairo on Sept. 19.

“Normally I would be thrilled to stay here longer, but just because it’s not by choice … I want to be in control of things,” said Bazeed, who intends to return in January for college.

Bazeed, who was brought up in Kuwait and lived there during the Gulf War, said she is afraid of anti-Arab and anti-Muslim sentiment building here. She recounted something that happened several days ago in Virginia, where she was staying with relatives before leaving for Cairo. She was shopping with a cousin, and a girl, about 8 years old, heard them speaking in Arabic and came over to talk to them.

“She told her mom, ‘Look, Mom, they’re speaking in Arabic,’ and the mother told the child not to talk to Arabs. And she mentioned the plane attacks,” Bazeed said.

For once, she said, she knew what it is to be stereotyped. “And that’s never happened to me before, where I could see it or hear it. We were really sad after that. And we didn’t speak Arabic for the rest of the day.”

Jawad Issa, an 18-year-old Palestinian from Gaza City who is studying political science and taking premed courses at Georgetown University, said an Arab girl on campus was jeered because she wore a veil. But Issa said he feels secure; other students living on his dormitory floor stuck by him when they saw graffiti reading “Kill All Palestinians” scrawled on another floor.

He also received help from an unexpected source: an Israeli girl he had met at camp. She sent him an e-mail from Israel, then offered to call his parents in Gaza City after learning Issa could not reach them.

“She called later and told me that my parents say hello. That was a great release to me. I owe her a lot,” he said.

He said the anger and the destruction he has seen the past two weeks, in an odd way, reminds him of Palestine.

“It was just like home, when something happens and somebody close to you dies. Any retaliation seems fair,” he said. “I’ve seen in the past few days the Middle East in the United States.”

“I was walking on the street [in Washington, D.C.] and saw the humvees, and I was remembering how it was just like home. There were soldiers everywhere. And everybody was talking about death and misery and sadness. This was just like home.”

Seeds of Peace opened to summer campers in 1993 and now has a year-round program, a “coexistence center” in Jerusalem, and is providing 60 full or partial scholarships for college study in the United States. Originally, it focused on children from the Middle East but now has campers from the Balkans, Cyprus, India, Pakistan, Greece and Turkey. Last summer, however, many Palestinians couldn’t attend because of security concerns.

In February, a former camper, Asel Asleh, a 17-year-old Palestinian from an Arab village in the Galilee region of Israel, was killed by Israeli soldiers during a demonstration. Asleh was wearing a Seeds of Peace T-shirt when he was shot at close range.

Since the attacks on America, the camp’s Internet message board, which is open only to members, has been busier than usual. A 19-year-old Jordanian woman and former camper said she deplored the attacks, but criticized American media for replaying a scene showing Palestinians celebrating.

“Replays of such a scene placed Arabs in the U.S. under constant danger,” said the woman, who lives in the United States but didn’t want her name used. “Just because a few fanatics are celebrating the American nightmare doesn’t mean that the entire Arab population is doing the same.”

Fadi Elsalameen, a freshman at Earlham College in Indiana who also spoke at the fund-raiser in Detroit, said he thought the Palestinians who were celebrating were probably kids seeing their first TV crews in months. Other than Arab reporters, there are few journalists reporting from the West Bank, he said.

But it is true that many Palestinians are angry at the United States for financing Israeli military operations. He said a friend’s house was bombed by Israelis in American jets. Afterwards, she looked through the ruins and picked up part of a missile that had blown up her home.

“It said, ‘Made in the U.S.’ It made her sick,” said Elsalameen, who lives in Hebron in the West Bank.

The suicide bombings of Israeli targets, he said, have been committed by people who are without hope. Food is in short supply in Palestine, people are humiliated at checkpoints and people are angry about Israel’s policies.

“Keeping killing people and humiliating them is just generating terrorists,” Elsalameen said. “They aren’t born terrorists; they realize their life has no meaning, that it’s inevitable they have to do something about it.”

Osama bin Laden, the Saudi refugee blamed by President Bush for terrorism worldwide, should be condemned, Elsalameen said, but bin Laden is smart in presenting himself as an agent of justice in the Middle East. “People in Afghanistan do not have anything to lose. Anybody who shows them some hope, they follow.”

Bazeem, a Sunni Muslim, said that in Egypt, Osama bin Laden is “not a hot political issue. A lot of people feel that he’s a terrorist, that he’s a maniac. I am surrounded by people who are generally not very open-minded, and like normally who would support this kind of thing. Even they don’t support him.”

John Wallach, president and founder of Seeds of Peace, said the reaction from Seeds members has “run the whole gamut. I think most the kids strongly condemn what happened, but I think there’s a tinge of feeling of now Americans understand what we’re going through.”

In prior years, the camp in Maine would hold a moment of silence after people from host countries were killed in conflicts overseas. This summer, at the height of suicide bombings in Israel, “we told kids at the beginning of camp we couldn’t do it because there were so many people being killed.”

He said the camp is doing important work by encouraging young people to resolve conflicts in their homelands. “If you care enough as a civilization to prevent violence and terrorism, this is the way to do it. But you have to care, and the answer isn’t a military response. You can kill all the bin Ladens you want, and it wouldn’t solve the root problem.”

Elsalameen said the role of Americans in future camp sessions may change. In the past, they have served as mediators and group leaders in sessions that often became heated.

“And now they’re involved, they’re part of it, and they will have a lot of things to say, I’m sure.”

Seeds of Peace honored by UNESCO

Nov 17, 2000 / No Comments

NEW YORK | The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) honored Seeds of Peace with a special mention of the Madjaneet Singh Prize for the Promotion of Tolerance and Non-Violence. The award was presented at a luncheon at the United Nations Headquarters in New York on November 17, 2000.

Seeds of Peace is the only American organization selected to receive this coveted award and is the first U.S. organization to be cited since former President Jimmy Carter received the prize in 1991. The prize was accepted by John Wallach, President and Founder of Seeds of Peace, and by Seeds of Peace graduates Netta Corren (Israeli) and Fadi Elsalameen (Palestinian).

UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan said: “There can be no more initiative than bringing together young people who have seen the ravages of war to learn the art of peace. Seeds of Peace is certainly an example of the world the United Nations is actively working for.”

In accepting the prize, Mr. Wallach said: “This is meaningful recognition for us because it comes from the world’s most important international body and because it underscores that without human understanding there can be no lasting peace. It is particularly significant that this comes at time when violence and hatred are destroying the few remaining Arab-Israeli bridges of understanding.”

Seeds of Peace shares this year’s award with Salaam, the pro-reform Iranian daily newspaper banned in 1999, and with Mir, a Russian radio and television station that teaches its listeners principles of tolerance and understanding.

In a press release dated October 19, 2000, UNESCO wrote that Seeds of Peace deserves the honor because it “has been particularly active in seeking to promote peace between Arabs and Israelis and since its founding in 1993 has been teaching tolerance and peace conflict resolution skills to young people through a variety of programmes.”

Remarks by Fadi Elsalameen (Hebron)

I’m Fadi Elsalameen, a 16 year old senior at the Gunnery school, in Washington, CT. I was born and raised in the city of Hebron in the West Bank, which is 45 minutes north of Jerusalem. I became part of Seeds of Peace international camp when I was 13 years old in 1998. As anyone would expect, throughout these years, I have learned many lessons in my life. I would like to share with you some of these lessons, so perhaps you can learn too.

Seeds of Peace, as most of you know, is conflict resolution camp for teenagers from the Middle East and other parts of the world. Kids who are “enemies” discuss the issues of the conflict they live in. Palestinians and Israelis live in the same bunk, sleep right next to each other, and are scared to death of each other. All they know is that they are sleeping next to their enemy, next to the monster that has nothing else to do on earth, but to kill and humiliate them. Those are the thoughts that every young man and woman have in their minds, before the Seeds of Peace Camp starts. In a situation like this, where people have been in a conflict for more than 50 years, trying to get freedom, and live in peace, they never realized that they are both keeping each other’s freedom. They never realized that they both have the key for peace in their hands. They have never realized that all the lives that are being lost represent a loss for both sides. They have never realized that losing a human being’s life is a step backwards from achieving peace. It is never an accomplishment.

I realize how hard it is to run such a great camp, like Seeds of Peace. Where young kids who grew up as enemies, end up being great friends. After the camp, you start thinking about the other side, as a group of people that are known to you. When I first thought of Israelis, the first thing that came to my mind was soldiers, guns, and nothing else. Now when I think of Israelis, I know that there is something more important that guns, and soldiers; I know I have friends, with feelings, I know that I’m thinking about human beings, who feel the same way about me. That’s what Seeds of Peace is about. It’s about making me start thinking about my enemy, and eventually I’ll realize that there isn’t really a great difference between me and him. We both are human beings, we both deserve to live in peace, we both have rights, and we both should defend our rights.

I really think we do believe in these principals very strongly. A great example is Asel Aslih, a 17 years old Arab Israeli, who gave up his life because of what he believed. What he learned at Seeds of Peace, forced him to do what ever he could, in order to keep the bridge of peace that he was building. Asel tried to escape from the soldiers, they chased him into the woods, where his life was ended by a bullet in the head. Asel that day was wearing a Seeds of Peace shirt; he was killed in that shirt, and was buried in that shirt too. Asel believed that if he would save his friend’s life, he would have added something to the bridge between Israelis and Arabs.

In a conflict like this, it is the ordinary people who are victimized the most. They are the ones who lose, not the politicians or the military leaders. The ordinary people are the main targets, indirectly, and the ordinary people are the ones who have no control over it. Those who have hope and goals for their lives, are not the ones who wage war. It is waged by people who seek the power they do not have and have nothing to lose by attacking their enemies.

Until the two sides see their problems as shared problems and see their goals as shared goals for the whole region, fighting will go on. What Seeds of Peace is trying to do is encourage understanding between the Palestinians and the Israelis so that they will see that their problems and goals are true for both people, who live on the same land and are not going to move. Until both sides give up on trying to have the whole thing for their side alone, the war will continue and more and more innocent people will be its victims. The hope of Seeds of Peace is that, by fostering friendships, based on respect and understanding between teenagers from both sides, there will eventually develop into a network of adults who will be able to recognize their goals and problems as mutual, to be resolved together, without war.

I’m very thankful for Seeds of Peace, for teaching me a great lesson, for teaching me that, no matter, what country, color, or religion I am, I am always a human being just like everyone else. A human being who feels, and cares for all humans on this planet.

Remarks by Netta Corren (Haifa)

Right now as I speak, miles away from here across a wide ocean, terrible things are happening. People are getting killed. People die, life destroyed.

During the past weeks I had to face myself time and time again and ask myself some very hard questions. How on earth can I continue having faith in peace and if I really do when all these horrors happen every day around us?

Last year, I attended Seeds of Peace camp — it was an amazing experience. Just the idea that such a big group of people from different nationalities which are in a bloody conflict with each other, singing together, hugging each other, is incredible. And for the first time, I actually realized not only as a face but on me, that there are human beings across the border. And those human beings for a month they are your best friends. It’s suddenly the easiest thing to bond with people when you all live and share the same reality, the same daily life experiences. I suddenly realized how easy and simple the whole thing could be if only we let it.

I came back from camp feeling that the sky had burst open and right there beyond a magical truth was exposed to me.

Life in the Middle East adjusts you very quickly. Back home you can’t see your friend every day nor can you talk to them on the phone. Each and every one of us has his own local friends, family, school — a lot of daily obstacles. My friendships which I started at camp has moved to another level. A level of growing slowly but steady. Mostly throughout all the activities the Seeds of Peace Center in Jerusalem has pulled in order to return our connections and bring us together again.

But throughout all the times we laughed and talked and exchanged ideas I still had the feeling that I was missing something. Is this a real friend of mine or just my Palestinian other side friend. This human being which I respect and appreciate and recognize — can they ever be that close to me as my Israeli friend back home?

My doubts accompanied me for a while until one day I remember very clearly. It all started when Seeds of Peace pulled a bring-a-friend program. The concept was that each Seed bring a local friend from back home and the whole group meets. The purpose is to open new people who are not connected to Seeds of Peace to new ideas to different perspectives of thinking.

Mai, a very good friend of mine, she’s a Palestinian from Rammallah, called me in advance and asked if I wanted to do that with her. We set a date and on that day we met with a whole bunch of Seeds and I remember that day with a big smile. The four of us, two Israelis and two Palestinians, hung together in the mall for a whole day. We talked about every topic possible and had such a good time. We discussed some really serious issues like boys, school, family and other matters that meant a lot to all of us.

And as I looked to the side for a moment I caught a glimpse of two of my best friends one Israeli and one Palestinian and the amazing connection they’ve managed to establish. And that I moment I really realized that I love them both the same way. No doubts, no limits.

Right now in a dusty divided desert like land, people die. It’s not an action movie nor a horror book. It’s real. And if anyone asks me how on earth can I keep my faith that things will turn out right, it’s in the realization I felt that day. Knowing that I can still call Mai, and talk to her and cry on her virtual shoulder and laugh with her and yell and accuse and discuss and share the same pain we both feel is my source of belief and this is also where my optimism lies. In the very same core in which human beings coming from different backgrounds, different cultures, different religions can still in spite of everything else hope together for a better future and believe, yes believe in peace as they are laying on each other. This is real, just as pain is and suffering is. We might not be able to determine everything about our reality; there are things which are simply beyond us. But I do believe that each and every one if us is able to determine his own reality. The reality in his mind in his thoughts and this is the reality combined all together that could us to a better life for all of us.

May the dead rest in peace. But as for the living may they live, live, in peace.

Remarks by Richard Holbrooke, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N.

November 15, 2000

Dear John and Members of Seeds of Peace:

Congratulations on being awarded UNESCO’s Madanjeet Singh Prize for the Promotion of Tolerance and Non-Violence. Seeds of Peace rightfully deserves to be recognized for its extraordinary efforts to promote conflict resolution, reconciliation and peace in the Middle East.

Although I am unable to join you on this special occasion, I want to express my personal appreciation for your organization’s good work. Seeds of Peace, perhaps more than any other organization, is helping to pave the way to a peaceful future in the Middle East. It has given thousands of young people a better understanding of each other and the world in which they live. It has given them an opportunity to meet and develop lasting friendships across otherwise daunting political and cultural divide.

Now, more than ever, the strength of your program is being tested, as the situation in the Middle East deteriorates. We can only hope that the lessons these young people have learned through Seeds of Peace about tolerance and understanding will bear fruit in these hard times. I am heartened to hear that Nardeen Asleh, who lost her brother Asel to the violence last month, has called for her brother to be memorialized by more children coming to Seeds of Peace.

Your organization is extraordinary. It has given the children of the Middle East and the adults in the rest of the world a reason to hope and believe.

For that, we should all be grateful.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Richard C. Holbroooke

Seeds of Peace launches new program for participants from across the United States

Jul 24, 2016 / No Comments

OTISFIELD, MAINE | As national attention increasingly focuses on divisions in and between communities across the United States, Seeds of Peace is launching a new program to bring together a diverse cohort of exceptional youth from cities around the country. This new United States program will include youth from Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, and Syracuse, New York.

The program, which begins August 3 at the Seeds of Peace Camp in Maine, builds on 16 years of Seeds of Peace’s work with over 600 young leaders from Maine who are a leading voice for dialogue, inclusion, and equity in schools and communities across the state.

The 120 campers will take part in an identity-based dialogue program focused on race, religion, economic and educational disparity and other sources of prejudice and discrimination.

Daily 110-minute dialogue sessions, led by professional facilitators, will explore the concepts of identity, culture, power and privilege while fostering self-reflection and self-growth.

The program is designed to help campers move beyond the stereotypes, prejudices and mistrust, and prepare them to address issues that impact their peers, schools, and communities. After the summer, participants in the program will join a network of 6,000 Seeds of Peace alumni around the world and will have opportunities to continue developing their leadership skills and to apply what they’ve learned to help bridge divides in their schools and communities.

About Seeds of Peace

Seeds of Peace inspires and cultivates new generations of global leaders in communities divided by conflict.

We equip them with the skills and relationships they need to accelerate social, economic, and political changes essential for peace.

Our approach

Seeds of Peace’s approach focuses on three types of change: personal and interpersonal transformation, and wider societal change.

Our leadership development model begins with a transformational camp session in Maine for exceptional young people and educators living in conflict. The program shifts attitudes and perceptions and builds respect and empathy.

Our approach continues through year-round local programs that strengthen relationships and leadership capacities.

We then accelerate the impact of our alumni who are challenging the ideologies, policies, and practices that perpetuate conflict.

Our network now encompasses over 6,000 alumni throughout the Middle East, South Asia, Europe, and the United States who are uniquely positioned to lead change.

Seeds of Peace camp opens
Lewiston Sun Journal

Jun 25, 2010 / No Comments

OTISFIELD | They are the 300 teenagers chosen from among 8,000 to get a bunk this summer at the Seeds of Peace International Camp on Pleasant Lake. They were selected not for their athletic or intellectual abilities, but for their belief that world peace is possible.

“You will be told that this won’t happen,” said Zeena, one of the second-year campers who spoke about her expectations for peace at a flag-raising ceremony Thursday morning outside the gates of the camp. Security here is not taken lightly. None of the campers’ last names are made public, and Maine State Police monitored the entrance.

“The only thing you can do is carry on,” the young woman from Egypt said. “We live in a world of atrocities. The journey you are embarking on is not easy. But if you want to enjoy the honey, you must endure the sting of the bee.”

“Be brave. You are blessed to be here. Bloodshed and hate and war are not inevitable. We are the Seeds of Peace. Welcome home.”

This year marks the 18th season for the camp, founded by journalist John Wallach and co-founded by Bobbie Gottschalk, who attended Thursday’s opening. Palestinian youths and others from Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Afghanistan Pakistan and India are attending one of the two three-week sessions.

Ramesh, from Afghanistan, talked about how his previous summer at the camp had changed his life.

“For me, this was the start of a new life, a new hope, a better way. And I thank you for the opportunity.” Rayan, a member of the Indian delegation, said, “I have used this opportunity to grow as an individual, but I know it does not end here. I must use the skills I have learned to solve problems in my home community.”

For the first time this year, well wishers have an opportunity to welcome the campers by posting messages on the organization’s website, www.seedsofpeace.org. Dan Ettinger, external relations manager, said the messages will be printed out and posted for the campers to see.

Since 1993, more than 4,000 teenagers have graduated from the Seeds of Peace program. The cost for campers, some of whom find sponsors, is more than $6,000, including transportation.

“Our mission is made possible by our sponsors and countless donors and benefactors,” said Communications Director Eric Kapenga. Two supporters, Bob MacLeod and Steve Byckiewicz, attended the ceremony. The two men are the founders and owners of Kiss My Face, natural personal care products. They donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of their all-purpose soap to the camp.

Executive Director Leslie Lewin called the campers “very brave, for taking this first step. You’ve worked very hard to be here.”

Director Emeritus of the camp, Tim Wilson, who first came to the camp in 1960 as a counselor, said all of the young people will continue to work for peace when they go back home. Wilson told reporters before the start of the ceremony that he was “the first black camp counselor hired by Dr. Joel Bloom” 50 years ago, when the all-Jewish boys’ camp was called Camp Powhatan. He went on to become director of the camp and later, a coach at the University of Maine. The camp property is now leased by Seeds of Peace.

“A lot of people have put their hearts and souls into this program,” Wilson said. He lamented the fact that peace isn’t talked about much anymore.

“It is possible,” he said. “Governments do not make peace — people make peace. Peace is a job because you have to work at it. Everyone here has a job to do once this is over. Go home, keep working, no matter what.”
