2. Everyday people have a critical role to play in finding a resolution
to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and yet their voices remain largely
absent from the peace process. We empower the Palestinian and Israeli
moderate majorities who support two states to hold their elected
officials accountable to bring about an end to the conflict.
Through OneVoice, young grassroots activists in Israel and
Palestine are equipped with the knowledge and skills to be
heard as they build momentum and a constituency for
the two-state solution locally and internationally.
Contents
Here at the OneVoice Movement, we have always known
that the only way to forge a just and lasting resolution to
the conflict is through the power of the grassroots.
That’s why in 2015 we plan to boldly seize the historic
opportunity presented by political and societal
transformation in the region, harnessing our revitalized
organizing model and our core philosophy of mobilizing
moderates in order to defeat extremists, so that we can
achieve profound change.
Our activists represent the best and brightest of Israel and
Palestine. Their parallel campaigns of the past year have
both united and energized their communities through
peaceful non-violent activities, channeling the support
and momentum on the ground needed to establish the
two-state solution. As we move forward, we will continue
to tap into the muscle of the silent moderate majority on
both sides with our refreshed data-driven strategy, which
simultaneously empowers and trains our Youth Leaders
to spearhead new initiatives and campaigns. Our strategic
ladder of engagement means that our activists are given
ownership of their role to end the conflict. Through this
model, OneVoice will inspire a new generation of leaders
who will not only hold their elected officials accountable,
but also inject the fresh perspective needed to end the
conflict and the occupation in their respective societies.
We’ve witnessed success in our political organizing
techniques before and we are confident in our capability
to capitalize on our previous wins so that we can generate
a strong push for two states. Our best-in-class organizing
skills, combined with our cutting-edge social media
campaigns, will move forward the agenda for conflict
resolution like never before and serve as the urgently
needed vehicle for change.
We are not naive. We understand the scale of the
challenge and the terrible deterioration in trust, faith, and
empathy that has accompanied this summer’s war and the
violence that has grown in its wake.
The tragic events of 2014 have served as a critical
reminder of what happens when extremists’ voices
overpower reason. Yet there is opportunity on the
horizon: OneVoice Israel will be embarking on a
groundbreaking campaign around the Israeli elections,
whilst OneVoice Palestine is preparing to launch a wide-ranging
effort to promote non-violence and state-building.
We are determined to ensure that in the coming year
moderates prevail, and we are grateful for your continued
support of our mission.
Just like you, our principles are enduring and they drive
our efforts. There is no alternative but to fight to ensure
that 2015 heralds the transformation that is necessary for
peace to prevail.
Together, we can succeed.

4. In response to the recent
announcement of upcoming
elections in Israel and the current
environment surrounding the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict,
OneVoice will begin launching our
new strategic plan to achieve
two states through parallel
campaigns in Palestine and Israel.
These endeavors represent an
informed, data-driven approach
that builds on our past successes
to cultivate and mobilize primed
audiences while capturing the
power of the Snowflake model
(pictured at right).
In Israel, our three-phase strategy
is designed to mobilize the 1.5
million centrist Israeli voters with
calls to action. Simultaneously,
we will commence a media voter
mobilization campaign that
emphasizes the pivotal turning
point these elections present.
Informed by recommendations
from 270 Strategies (Obama’s
campaign team) we have spent
the past year ramping up our
organizing model and grassroots
network to place ourselves
in the position to capitalize
on this significant moment.
Our strategy will enable us to
develop the capacity, visibility,
and communications expertise
required to make sure this key
centrist constituency prioritizes
a swift resolution to the Israeli-
Palestinian conflict.
Moreover, in the dust of the
summer’s violence and the
consequent shifts in Palestinian
public opinion on how to best
end the occupation, OneVoice
Palestine (OVP) has recognized
the importance of reinforcing the
notion of popular resistance in
the conscious of the Palestinian
people. “I Don’t Die for my
Country… I Live for It” will be a
five-month campaign aimed at
promoting popular resistance,
state-building, and the Arab Peace
Initiative while advocating for an
end to the conflict and a two-state
solution along the 1967 borders.
On both sides we will amplify our
work with a communications plan
that demonstrates to Israelis and
Palestinians the existence of a
viable, trustworthy partner across
the Green Line.

5. The Youth Leadership Program (YLP) trains promising
young Israelis and Palestinians to become engaged
grassroots activists and provides a critical constructive
outlet for the current youth frustration stemming
from the existing political status quo. The Youth
Leadership Program features a unique structure with
two mainstream, nationalistic movements working in
parallel in both Israel and Palestine.
Emphasis is based on participants gaining the skills
to become successful political advocates for the two-state
solution, who mitigate conflict at the grassroots
level by mobilizing the moderate, non-violent majority
in their communities. Youth Leaders spearhead
unique activities—from town hall meetings that build
consensus for tough compromises to public awareness
campaigns that underscore the urgency of a peace
agreement to initiatives that pressure leaders to take
action to move the peace process forward.
Through
participation in
OneVoice’s Youth
Leadership Program,
young Israelis and
Palestinians are not only
equipped with the essential
skills needed to become future
institutional change makers, but also
with the confidence and inspiration
needed to realize the potential they
hold within. The personal influence of the
program is significant—as Palestinian Chapter
Leader Amro Brigith said, OneVoice has served as
the “path to changing my life and Palestinian life.” In
parallel, OneVoice Israel Regional Coordinator Elad Laor
reflected that the program has “concrete and significant
impact on several levels.” OneVoice Youth Leaders
are instrumental to shaping the future of Israel and
Palestine into one that is both peaceful and prosperous.
Debated tough questions related to the
conflict with top Israeli decision-makers and
politicians during the “Peace, It Also Pays
Off” conference in Tel-Aviv.
Celebrated the achievements and
courageous, parallel work of OneVoice
Palestine and Israel’s Samer Makhlouf and
Tal Harris, who received the 2014 Institute of
International Education’s Victor J. Goldberg
Prize for Peace in the Middle East .
Began the “Peace at the Bar” program in
Israel to construct a casual environment
where young professionals can freely engage
in substantive conversation.
Asserted Palestinian rights to their land
through several olive tree-planting activities
in Palestine.

6. Rolled out in November of 2013, OneVoice Palestine
(OVP)launched a parallel campaign to rally support
for Palestinian negotiators and wipe-away the apathy
surrounding Palestinian involvement in the decisions
impacting their everyday lives. To start, OVP chapters
across the West Bank unfurled a banner over 1,000
meters long in the Jordan Valley signaling that peace
is possible.
This April, OneVoice Israel (OVI) launched its
“Peace, It Also Pays Off” campaign. The ongoing
campaign mobilizes everyday Israelis to propel
their leaders toward the two-state solution
by reminding them of what is at stake and the
choice Israel faces between continued conflict or
a more secure and prosperous future.
WAKE UP: WHAT IS
YOUR ROLE?
OUR CAMPAIGNS IN PARALLEL
This year, OneVoice launched the following campaigns in
Israel and Palestine as part of an effort to support the
negotiations, both of which were backed by the
State Department and additionally made
possible through funds received from
the Skoll Foundation.

7. This August, OVI supporters
gathered to urge Israelis
to support “Abbas not
Hamas” - lest they squander
the opportunity presented
by Palestinian President
Mahmoud Abbas’ non-violent
and pro two-state
solution agenda.
In parallel to OVI, OVP activists across Hebron,
Nablus, Bethlehem, Qalqilia, Jericho, and
Jenin launched the Unity campaign. The
campaign reasserted non-violent resistance
and support for the national leadership as the
keys to successfully ending the occupation
and securing a Palestinian state. The
campaign also aimed to emphasize that the
Jordan Valley is to remain under Palestinian
control. Activists engaged with the local
communities to encourage continued
support for the conversation online
and in the streets.

OUR CAMPAIGNS IN PARALLEL
The “Abbas Not Hamas” and “Unity” campaigns we launched in
response to Operation Protective Edge in Gaza. In Israel,
our aim was to harness the people’s frustration in the
untenable situation with Hamas. In Palestine,
we sought to build unity behind a
government that supports a two-state
solution and an end to
the status quo through
negotiations.

8. OUTREACH & EDUCATION
INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMMING
OneVoice Europe’s Outreach and Education
Programme is transforming the attitudes of
school students and inspiring constructive adult
activism on the issue of Israel-Palestine in the
United Kingdom. Four speaking tours have been
conducted over the past year, which brought
eight young Palestinians and Israelis to the
UK. Additional sessions and events were made
possible using a live video link to speakers in
Israel and Palestine. Over 2,000 people have
participated in the discussions and educational
programs in 2013-14, with over 400 still engaged
with Israelis and Palestinians online. Twenty of
these best and brightest young minds have since
been trained to go out and in turn activate their
peer network.
Our 90-minute school sessions have included
activities to promote general conflict understanding
and conflict resolution and the
application of these principles to the Israeli-
Palestinian conflict. The sessions have encouraged
exploration of a variety of possible
solutions, while giving some background on
the historical narrative of each side on the
issues that lie at the heart of the conflict. Real-life
experiences and aspirations of people who
are living through the conflict have also been
featured.
These stories
were either
shown on video,
or told in person by
our visiting Israeli and
Palestinian Youth Leaders
from the region. Students
also benefit from the unique
opportunity to ask questions directly
to those people living in the region and/
or those involved in working for conflict
resolution in Israel/Palestine.
In the United States, several activities were
held to further educate the American public
on the conflict at synagogues, universities,
and community centers. Speaking events
included participation in the Holy Land Christian
Ecumenical Foundation Conference as well as
on a J Street panel discussion on the region.
Additionally, supporters gathered at the
Scandinavia House in New York on November 12th
for an insider’s discussion of the summer’s events
with Amb. Marc Ginsberg, Rula Jabreal, and Aaron
David Miller.

9. This March a group of
twenty-two supporters from
the U.K. and United States
joined OneVoice staff for an
unforgettable four-day journey
through Palestine and Israel.
From private briefings with
heads of state to grassroots
encounters with activists,
delegates had the unique
opportunity to experience
firsthand the complexities
of the Israeli-Palestinian
conflict on both sides of the
Green Line. During the week
the group met with senior
Israeli and Palestinian officials
including Member of Knesset
Yitzhak Herzog, former head
of Shin Bet Yuval Diskin,
Palestinian
Deputy
Prime Minister
Mohammad
Mustafa, and
Bethlehem Mayor Vera
Baboun. The trip served as
an important forum to inspire
leaders of the international
community to take action
and support the Israeli and
Palestinian Youth Leaders
who remain steadfast in their
commitment to making the
two-state solution a reality.
Voices from the
March 2014
Delegation:
“I had the great privilege to be part of the 2014
OneVoice delegation to Israel and Palestine.
I was amazed by the access to senior policy
makers on all sides of the political spectrum.
OneVoice has clearly earned respect on all
sides.”
– Greg Kaldor, New York
“For me, the OneVoice Delegation was a
unique and transformative experience.
The unprecedented access to many of the
important players on both sides of the
conflict was remarkable, but even more so
was meeting and hearing from many of the
inspired and inspiring young people on both
sides working for a just and better future for
both peoples. I returned far more informed
and more determined in my support for
OneVoice and all that it seeks t o achieve.”
– Lawrence Radley, London
“OneVoice’s itinerary was ambitious; its
impressive access to a wide spectrum of
Israeli and Palestinian politicians, influential
businessmen and women, military and
security advisers, negotiators, journalists,
diplomats and activists on both sides
provided incredible and unique insight; we
saw something of the conditions of daily
life in Ramallah, Bethlehem and Sderot
with fascinating delegates from diverse
backgrounds. The experience was truly
thought-provoking with no option but to
confront some perhaps inconvenient truths.”
– Denise Joseph, London

11. A Great Investment: Over
the past 12 years, OneVoice’s
award-winning mission has proven
its ability to build a network of
human infrastructure capable of
implementing effective grassroots
campaigns and youth leadership
training in Israel, Palestine, and
on the global stage. These parallel
movements combine to create
powerful synergy, which was
recognized in 2009 with OneVoice’s
receipt of the UN Alliance of
Civilizations Intercultural
Innovation Award. OneVoice has
additionally received the Artists’
and Humans’ Project Cultural
Achievement Award; the 2004
World Association of NGOs Peace,
Reconciliation, and Security
Award; the 2005 King Hussein
Humanitarian Leadership Prize
presented by former President
Jimmy Carter; and the 2008 Skoll
Award. Just this June, OVI’s Tal
Harris and OVP’s Samer Makhlouf
were awarded the 2014 IIE Victor
J. Goldberg Prize for Peace in the
Middle East from The Institute
of International Education
(IIE). Moreover, OneVoice has
demonstrated successful financial
management, an example of which
is the $1 million Skoll Award,
which resulted in an unprecedented
additional $150,000 grant.
