Peace Building: A New Approach to the Middle East Conflict
Pasadena, CA - Vision publisher David Hulme interviews Middle East diplomat Uri Savir about his newly-released book, Peace First, which calls for a new approach to the Middle East conflict. Savir calls this new model “peace-building” as opposed to “peace-making,” a concept embodied in one of the novice teams that joined in the Australian games this year for the first time: the Peace Team. Drawn from Israeli and Palestinian players, the Peace Team may not have won their match against Papua New Guinea on Saturday, but through the football program, they won something far more important: the experience of pulling together as a team toward a common goal.

This week, Israelis commemorate the 40th anniversary of their 1967 capture of East Jerusalem , but conflict over the city continues to this day. Why has Jerusalem been such a stumbling block in peace negotiations between the Palestinians and Israelis?

Stem Cell Research: A Scientific and Political Issue
The illumination of the human genome has opened the door to a vast range of medical therapies. The promise of drugs and interventions tuned to the individual patient’s genetics holds persuasive advantage over the one-size-fits-all generic remedies we count on today.

Although the cells themselves are microscopic, their use in medical research has become one of the biggestcurrent moral issues in society.

Fighting the Truce--Identities and the Israel-Hezbollah Cease-fire
Although the cease-fire has been in effect for just over week Israeli forces and Hezbollah militants clashed again early Saturday in eastern Lebanon.
