Tami Hay-Sagiv grew up with strong right-wing views and little to no understanding of Palestinians and their plight. Today, she works for equality for Palestinians in Israel, and to create a more fair and just Israeli society.
intifadas , her strong pro-Israel, anti-Arab views were even more solidified when the intifadas turned violent and resulted in suicide bombings by Hamas members around Israel.
"And suddenly it was changing me," Hay-Sagiv said."So later, when I was approached to join the Peres Center For Peace, it was already there bubbling."in 2007. The center was founded in 1996 by the late President of Israel, Shimon Peres.
Hay-Sagiv refers to their work as a"do tank" versus a think tank where they create activities across borders in health and medicine, education, sports, agriculture, and business — areas that interest both groups and could potentially bring them together. Hay-Sagiv's work at the Peres Center fuels her optimism for the future. But that optimism quickly wanes during and after an escalation between Israel and Hamas. Right now, her team is still recovering from the latest round of fighting in May.
On the Israeli side, Hay-Sagiv said, there is little to no education about the Palestinian narrative or plight. Palestinians, she said, are often demonized in the media, and many Israelis go their entire lives without encountering a Palestinian person. She also said the situations in countries surrounding Israel, like Lebanon, Afghanistan, and Syria, sometimes leaves Israelis generalizing all Arabs.
