What does "Enduring Peace" look like?

What does "Enduring Peace" look like and how does one find it?

As I begin to think about what I hope can become a place of open and honest community dialogue about a very troubling subject, Palestine/Israel, I would like to know what you think of the name for this blog and more importantly, the concept that "Peace Overcomes Conflict".

I have some thoughts about what it would take for "enduring peace" and I am sure you have some as well. So, I ask that you please share with us what those thoughts are. For openers, what does justice for all people have to do with keeping the peace? Does building walls and fences to separate people promote peace? Are the people/institutions of today responsible for things that happened 40 or 60 years ago, or do we just pick another day and time in history, or do we reset the clock to "from-now-on"? Does one peoples demand for more land, water, and absolute security trump everything else?

I will stop here and listen. I hope you will speak from the heart, but remember, the people that see and hear this have hearts that beat the same rhythms of all humanity: the longing for family, livelihood, health, and the ability to pursue their full potential as they abide with their "God" within those families. This is something that would seem to be universal for humankind. Thank you.
