The Israeli journal Haaretz produced (August 12, 2004) an article "Right of Remembrance", based on an interview with Eitan Bronstein of the Zochrot organisation, which engages in the commemoration of Palestinian villages destroyed in the 1948 and 1967 wars.

Since Bronstein is also a youth program director at the School for Peace, certain right wing respondants to the article took the opportunity to attack Neve Shalom ~ Wahat al-Salam or the School for Peace.

Yet the Haaretz article concerned Zochrot, rather than NSWAS or the School for Peace. As visitors to this website will know, NSWAS is a village, rather than an organisation with clearly defined political goals.  The SFP, for its part, is an  institution conducting grass roots encounter work based on open dialogue.

The residents of NSWAS hold strong and often diverging views on many topics.  Eitan Bronstein happens not to be a resident, but is a well-respected program director at the School for Peace who, like many here, is active in other work, for which NSWAS accepts neither credit nor blame.
