Abstract
In societies experiencing intractable conflicts, civil society may seek conflict-management solutions that are not necessarily political or institutional. Israel, with a century-old conflict between Jews and Palestinian Arabs, has various NGOs trying to bring both sides together in different ways. The present study focuses on four such NGOs: Merchavim, Hand in Hand, Abraham Initiatives, and Sikkuy-Aufoq. Drawing on their websites and publications as well as interviews with their Jewish and Palestinian directors, it offers a comparative analysis of their goals, strategies, collaborations, evaluation methods, difficulties, and aspirations. The findings point to similarities and differences between the organizations’ agendas, painting a picture of the key issues confronting efforts to build a shared society in Israel.
在经历棘手冲突的社会中，民间社会可能寻求不一定是政治性或制度性的冲突管理解决办法。在以色列，犹太人和巴勒斯坦阿拉伯人之间的冲突已经持续了一个世纪，各种各样的非政府组织试图以不同的方式让双方走到一起。本研究的重点是四个这样的非政府组织:Merchavim、Hand in Hand、Abraham Initiatives和Sikkuy-Aufoq。根据他们的网站和出版物，以及对他们的犹太和巴勒斯坦主任的采访，它对他们的目标、战略、合作、评估方法、困难和愿望进行了比较分析。调查结果指出了这些组织议程之间的异同，描绘了在以色列建立共享社会所面临的关键问题。
