Interview with Ibrahim Ahmad Abu El-Hawa, a peacemaker living in East Jerusalem on the Mount of Olives

Ibrahim Ahmad Abu El-HawaWe were received as family members into the home of Ibrahim Ahmad Abu El-Hawa, and this we were told, is not unique. "I speak Hebrew, Arabic, Russian and English but my family taught me the most important language of all: the language of welcoming. I don't have a lock on the door and I never know who will be in my home. Everyone is welcome."

With a view of the separation wall from his window, Ibrahim's wish to make peace is visceral. "It is our destiny to live here in the holy land together, and only our heart can change the world."
