Blogging for Mideast Peace

Submitted by Rebecca MacKinnon on Mon, 2004/11/15 - 8:50pm.

Onevoice is a project that aims to help foster Mideast peace by promoting citizen diplomacy between Israelis and Palestinians.

The project's leader, Daniel Lubetzky of the Peaceworks Foundation, is eager to start blogging, ASAP.

I have recommended to Daniel that they should do the following:

- set up a blog for the organization
- encourage individual Israelis and Palestinians involved in Onevoice to start their own blogs
- set up an aggregator of all Onevoice-allied individual blogs, which would be linked to the Onevoice blog and website

Volunteers needed in NYC, Ramallah, and Tel Aviv.
I suggest that they should designate one "head blogger" to lead the effort from one of those cities. This person would then coordinate the blogging plans with the bloggers on the ground in the other cities, as needed.

If you live in one of those cities and are interested in helping Onevoice, please make your interest known in the comments section of this post. Don't forget to give the URL of your blog.

It will be up to Onevoice and the individual volunteers to work out their own logistical arrangements.
