Calls Across the Wall


Wednesday 15 August 2007 11:00-11:30 (Radio 4 FM)


The story of Hello Peace, a phone line which has facilitated nearly a million conversations between Israelis and Palestinians, and of Parents' Circle, a forum of bereaved families from both sides of the conflict who have rejected the path of hatred and revenge to reach out to each other.

It began in November 2000 when a young Israeli woman, trying to phone a Jewish friend, dialled a wrong number and found herself speaking instead to a Palestinian in the Gaza Strip.

Hi Shodan,

The programme is well worth the listen, though (I think) the BBC 'listen again' feature only lasts for a week after the programme is first broadcast, but it should still be available until Wednesday next week (August 22nd).

The link aint working for me at the moment :(, but I had a look at this website:

here's a snippet from how to help section

E-mail a paragraph about Hello, Peace! to online discussion groups, online newsletters - any group with an interest in the Middle East.
I can do that, tell me how.
