This year has been a very successful first year for Students for Justice and Peace in the Middle East. The club feels that it has accomplished its goal in spreading awareness about some of the current issues taking place in the Middle East, through movie showings, speakers, culture night and most recently, the wall display.
Without awareness there can be no justice, and without justice, there can be no peace. The club’s next step in seeking justice and peace would be to attempt to discuss the issues with those who hold the counterarguments and create common grounds. If both parties can come to peace in this university, then maybe one day, we will see this happen on a larger scale in the Middle East. Maybe one day Arabs and Israelis will live peacefully together.
