In this issue you can read about Ni'ilin, the unlucky village supported by Israeli Anarchists, which has already lost so much to settlements and has become the new forefront of the acerbating struggle against the Wall. On a more hopeful note: a report on dialogue between Gazans and Israelis from in and around Sderot, peace activists turning into sailors, demonstrations against Peres inside a settlement, and more selections of things that happened this summer.
With all the efforts of the peace movement, where are we going? The lead article weighs the chances for peace based on two states from a historical perspective: the in-depth story of the many people, groups and movements who have striven so hard since the very beginning of the conflict.

In 1982 and 1983, the horrors of the Lebanon War divided Israeli society and turned the attention of the world to the explosive situation in the Middle East. It was during this time that the Israeli Council for Israeli-Palestinian Peace (ICIPP) decided to broaden the impact of its activities by establishing an English-language newsletter, The Other Israel.
The Other Israel,published approximately quarterly, aims to provide extensive coverage of the diverse struggles waged by the Israeli peace movement at large. It reports on a great variety of activities, most of which find little or no mention in the world media. It also contains commentaries on events in Israel and the Middle East from a perspective in which the interests of Israelis and Palestinians are ultimately reconcilable.
More and more Israelis, Palestinians and interested groups and individuals all over the world are responding to The Other Israel.The newsletter is available at libraries in Israel, in the Occupied Territories, and in universities throughout the world. It is used as a source by journalists and quoted by political scientists.
"Thanks for the fine work which is being done in publishing such relevant information about Palestine and Israel, which has not been available to many of us through other sources...""Things look so bleak over there. The Other Israel remains a balm -- smart, sane, compassionate, informative, insightful. Keep up the excellent work."
