George Stevens is co-founder of the 4MENA Network, the first network of organisations from Israel, Palestine and across the MENA region devoted to a more inclusive, interconnected and peaceful future for all, and director of partnerships for NOAL, Israel’s largest Jewish-Arab youth movement. He argues that the peace movement in Israel and beyond has ‘an overly simplistic view in which diplomacy and Israeli concessions alone can ensure peace, with no need to offer any solution to the military might and eliminationist desires of Hamas, Hezbollah and the Iranian regime.’ He proposes an alternative approach: peace realism.
