I work as a Palestinian producer. My program is called "The Axis", which gives me the opportunity to try to show the other side of the Palestinian and Israeli communities, hoping that peace will not be only in the radio station, but also that both nations will live in peace in one land.
Aziz Abu Sarah Sharon Misheiker
We both were raised in Jerusalem; we both lost our brothers as a result of the Israeli- Palestinian conflict. Aziz is the youngest of his family has lost his older brother. Sharon who's the older member of her family has lost her youngest brother. We both found our selves in big crises but we decided to join the forum of The Bereaved Families. We in the forum work for appeasement in order to stop violence. And to make what was not available for us possible for others, to grow up next to your brothers and to continue living in a united family which was not damaged severely as a result of unnecessary death. When Aziz speaks about his brother Sharon hears herself, and when Sharon speaks about her brother Aziz hears himself. The pain is similar… also is the loss. In the forum of the Israeli Palestinian Bereaved Families there are people that are interested to develop and to go back to their normal life within bereavement and pain. In our show "Changing Direction" we bring to you those who chose not to avenge or revenge but to talk, to accept, and to work for different future. Our program is in the two languages which require patience. Appeasement requires patience and here it starts to have the ability to wait for the translation into the other language; we promise you, from our experience that after sometime you will get used to it and it would become easier to hear and even normal. This Show is different, it brings a new soul and a new message even equality and almost revolutionary.., the wind of “Changing Direction”.

The longer I play and listen to music the more I am convinced of the power of all music to act as a bridge and as a universal language between people of different cultures, outlooks on life and languages. Music connects with something primordial, something so pure and essential that it touches all of us, regardless of musical preference. I play jazz and blues but happily listen to Arabic music, folk, Persian and Indian music, rock and pop. As long as the music comes from the heart it will strike the right chord with everyone and anyone. I'm sure that if more politicians listened to music there would be far less conflict in the world. Music is about breathing and listening. Enjoy!

I present "Drum Beats" program and alsothe party music in All for Peace radio station. I believe that music can be a universal language when used properly. What I’m trying to do is to overcome all boundaries and differences in order to unite people through and with the music.
Carlos Shtiglis
I was born in South America. I love all kinds of music, and that's my hobby, and I play piano. As a social worker and an organization councilor, I believe in and work for justice, equality and also that the Palestinians and the Israelis will live together after the end of the occupation.

People lose track of the years passing by. It pains me to see the stubbornness of the two nations. Life goes on, doesn’t wait for anyone, but the feeling of peace and security is gone alongside the people who have perished in vain because of the conflict. That is why I wanted to work in a radio station with a goal - to achieve real peace, or at least try to change the media’s message to a message of peace. In this pioneering station, I work as a producer for the Palestinian Team.

Years go by, and people are loosing their faith and hope. My massage to you is "Never give up"; don't loose hope. People are still trying to make our life worth living and our voice will be heard. "Never give up" on something you believe in, and I as a Palestinian, believe in my people and my country. And I believe in PEACE…
Micha Kurz
Micha Kurz was born and raised in Jerusalem. He was active in the National Youth Movement for over ten years, where he trained teenagers to work as leaders in their local communities. He worked extensively on leadership programs with new immigrant communities in Israel, mainly with youth from Ethiopia and the Caucasus. He was one of the first to implement a leadership training curriculum with Bedouin youth. At nineteen, he joined the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) as a combat soldier and attained rank of Master Sergeant. After an honorable discharge from the army he co-founded “Breaking the Silence”, an organization of former Israeli soldiers speaking out about “our service in the Occupied Territories and the moral price, the degradation of spirit, we have had to pay on both societal and personal levels while serving our nation”. He has met with grassroots activists around the world and learned the importance and effectiveness of local community organizing. Traveling in and out of the occupied territories he has begun mapping the vast grassroots social justice and environmental sustainability efforts in and around the Jerusalem area. He believes these grassroots efforts are ultimately linked. He plans to weave a common vision with the communities working on the urgent issues. “I was brought up to love Jerusalem, I knew the city inside-out like the back of my hand. I would take my youth groups from around the country on tours of the old city, to boast its beauty and my knowledge of it. It wasn’t until my army service that I discovered half a city I knew nothing about! I realize today, I still have much to learn about my home-town and the people who live on the other side of it.” Jerusalem is not a unified city today, it is quite obviously the opposite. Those who struggle within the political structures and ways of thought are ultimately bound to run into an impossible wall. Those who transcend their dividing differences, to meet at the common grounds of shared values for Human rights, Justice, Social and Environmental Sustainability and a truly unified city, are those who are providing the fertile grounds of possibility. The young Israeli and Palestinian grassroots leaders introduce the possibility of Jerusalem at its highest potential, at a moment when it is at its lowest. We must not abandon them.

I enjoy my work - sound engineering is one of my hobbies, but I think that having a hobby without a message behind it is an empty hobby, like a body without a heart. I was very happy when I started working for the "All for Peace" radio station, because this gave me the opportunity to translate sound into a high quality voice that reaches as far as possible, in order to achieve its goal, which is accomplishing peace.
