ROOTS is an Israeli-Palestinian grassroots initiative for understanding, nonviolence, and transformation based in the West Bank - it is a unique network of local Palestinians and Israelis who have come to see each other as the partners we both need to make changes to end our conflict. Based on mutual recognition of each People's national identity and connection to the Land, we are challenging the assumptions our communities hold about each other, building trust and creating a new discourse around the conflict in our respective societies.
