I am kind of scratching my head over here. Wouldn’t “opening our hearts and minds to the possibility of other points of view” include not accusing the Israeli government of “war crimes” etc. as “There are many good, smart people who strongly disagree with you” about that?

By Elizabeth Cushing We love to talk about scaling solutions in the social sector. It feels good to imagine a day when every person who needs support can get it. The reality is, though, that scale is elusive for most of us. Yes, we successfully develop and implement effective solutions to pressing problems, but we can’t do it for everyone everywhere because it isn’t feasible, it’s too expensive, or both.

Atrocities never lead to peace.
