Others likewise attempting to find ways to get the two sides to listen to and understand one another, to recognize each other's human dignity, include a former Israeli army general. a former Likud cabinet minister, the Israeli and Palestinian co-directors of the Israeli/Palestinian Center for Research and Information, a public policy think tank, and such Palestinian peace activists as Dr. Hanan Ashrawi and the late Faisal Husseini.
