Building massively-visible mass support
for an evenhanded two-state solution
for Israel & Palestine

Thank you for passing on this website to us. I love this organization and its message. I like their retail products very much and in particular their lapel pins. They can provide us with a vehicle to display our commitment to ourselves and to everyone we come in contact with. I think the possible ripple effects from wearing this little pin are extraordinary. I ordered a bunch of them immediately. Susie

I am out of pins again, so this time I’d better buy 100.  They are very well received here [Washington DC]. More than any other symbol in a long time, Support Sanity’s lapel pin encourages people to unlock their hearts.  Most of the pins I give away get instantly worn. – Michael

Your act of designing and having pins made and distributed … is one of those noble gestures that takes one’s breath away. When I first saw them, all I could think of to say was, “YES!” – Annette

I was so touched when I read the e-mail about those pins. I thought that there is a chance for peace still. I do not know what to tell you other than you are so GREAT. We need every possible way to co-exist those two nations together and to try to eliminate the hatred between them. I really admire your initiative and I would love to get this pin. I have lot of friends and people who would love to carry those and distribute them. Let me know how can I order and how much. Thanks again, and may God bless you. – Maha

Your message resonates powerfully for me. Thank you for articulating the need for a deeply human, non-polarizing approach to the conflict and movement towards peace. - Idit

I'm thrilled about what you're up to. Let's blanket the country with this visible display of our support of peace and dignity in the Middle East for all. – Susie

Love my pins. They are beautiful. Sent information to LT in California.  He is one of the pioneers in dialoging with Palestinians and Israelis. ... Hope you will hear from him, and I am sure you will from me again. – Jeanie

I was excited to see your ad in Biblical Archaeology Review and to investigate your website. As to the items we ordered, the flag set and clock will go to my office at the church, my wife wants the mug for her office, and the pins we will wear and share with friends. (We took a group from our church to Beit Sahour in the summer of 2000 and worked at a school for handicapped girls. Those people all stay current on the situation and would all strongly agree with your position of two states for two people). The message on the clock face says it all: "It's time". – Paul

Your pins are wonderful. What a simple thing, yet what hope it brings to people. I think it was Gandhi who said something like “when there is a just cause, supporters seem to come out of the woodwork”. With this gesture, you’ve joined my list of heroes. – Annette

I love, love, love what you all are up to and I plan on wearing my support for "a world of peace and dignity for all" everywhere I go until we accomplish those goals. I really look forward to receiving my order. – Susie

As an American Christian who has lived in Cairo, and has ties to Arabs, Palestinians, Jews, the Middle East and to Islam, I have to say your site and your approach is a wonderful breath of fresh air! Congratulations on finding a way to articulate a position that is so simple and so straightforwardly consistent with what people of conscience and faith everywhere believe--your message is so simple that it is not difficult to support, and I am happy to be able to recommend it to ALL of the various concerned friends and acquaintances I have! – Lynn

I wear the lapel pin at the meetings I attend here in Washington DC, meetings all of the think tank variety. The accuracy of the pin's underlying sentiment is recognized by nearly everyone I encounter, Jew and non-Jew alike. – Michael

I think what you're doing with Support Sanity is really important and I'm glad you're pursuing this!  Keep up the great work! – Jamil

 

I love the simplicity and daring of your symbol, and your emphasis on the dignity of both peoples. – Robert

I cannot thank you enough for the pin.  I am wearing it everywhere, all the time. – Dana

I gave out all your buttons but the one I kept for myself. H___ and M___, two Palestinian-Israeli peace scholars and activists, really appreciated them, saying: "This is our identity exactly". – Mitchell

Your pins are lovely and have a wonderful message behind them. – Amal

Very inspiring website and cause. ... I am interested in helping out. I am 23 years old and would like to help in any way possible. For the past few years I have been drawn to the ongoing conflict and can't help but feel compassion for both sides though I am neither Jewish nor Palestinian. Let me know what I can do. Thank you. – Luke

I’m thrilled to see you’re doing such wonderful work! It’s amazing how a small thing like a button can really tap into such deep emotions. – Marisa

Peace be upon you! Your message has been forwarded to the list. ... Keep up the good work and God bless. – Jawad

An excellent idea and a wonderful site. You are very good at website design, the site is a pleasure to explore. – John

We received your package of pins today! What a HUGE hit they made at our weekly peace vigil. Our group consensed at tonight’s meeting to support your efforts. Everyone really loves the pins.  I have collected $35.00 to send to you for the pins you sent and towards an order of more pins.  When will more pins be ready? – Deanna

The website is wonderful. ... Thank you for your good work. Why do so few speak up? – Judith

Last night, I awoke from a dream that might make you smile. In it, I saw a Palestinian protest forming at the side of a highway. The Palestinians were in traditional black dresses and other such garb. I approached a woman and offered her my pin! (the crossed flags). She did not want it, but I asked her to talk to me, and we engaged in a long conversation. She described first the abuses that she suffered under Israeli occupation. But then she described the corruption of the PA, and a particular incident that had happened to one person who fell out on the wrong side of its corrupt minions. Her conversation was flecked with Hebrew, and as I talked to her and looked at her face, I realized that, in some ways, she was much more Israeli than I was [as an American Jew]. I had a vision of Israeli and Palestinian society merging in some future time, when people like her would walk the streets of Jerusalem freely, even move in next door, when her son would be the boy next door. Who knows? Herzl said, "Eem tirtsu, ayn zo agada (If you will it, it is no dream)." - Lori

Providing a meeting place for those who want to wage peace: What a great idea! – Jim

Our website continues to get some hatemongers signing the guestbook. I delete their trash and exclude their IP for the future. More than ever, I believe in the purpose behind Support Sanity. There is so much hate on both sides. A chill comes over me when I read some of the comments from Israeli and Palestinian writers. – Dennis

Your mission statement, as I understand it, is the sole way to bring sanity and humanity to the Middle East.  – Robert

I am amazed to hear about your activities, and the pin you produced! Keep up the good work!  – Orly

Thanks for not being afraid to take a stand for peace. – Ruth

What I like best about you is that you're working both sides,
trying to push the center.  Good luck, Sisyphus! -
Lori
