Executive Summary of Abrahamic Movement 3-2-1 Federation Plan

 

The model we have developed is based on a paradigm called “Abrahamic Federalism”

  

POLITICAL SYMBOLISM 

 

The Holy Land is the nexus of the Abrahamic religions. What we need in the Holy Land, between Jew and Arab, is healing. We have cried too many tears, buried too many dead. Enough. Sulha. 

 

It has been said that if religion is part of the problem of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, it must be part of the solution. 

 

We believe we are the children of Abraham, both literally and in spirit. We believe that Avraham/Abraham/Ibrahim is the powerful unifying symbol that Jews, Christians, and Muslims can come together and agree upon.
