Mission Statement
American Friends of the Parents Circle-Families Forum (AF-PCFF) shares the human side of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict with the American public in order to foster a peace and reconciliation process. The AF-PCFF is committed to supporting the Parents Circle-Families Forum (PCFF) through raising public awareness, constituency building and fundraising in the U.S. The Parents Circle Families Forum is a joint Israeli-Palestinian organization made up of more than 600 bereaved families. Their common bond is that they have lost a close family member to the conflict. But instead of choosing revenge, they have chosen a path of reconciliation.
About This Cause
The Parents Circle – Families Forum is the only association in the world that does not wish to welcome any newly members into its fold. The bereaved members of PCFF, armed with the credibility of their loss and the uncommon path they have chosen, have opened a crack in the psyche of a hardened populous. They have begun to stir an awareness about the conflict that transcends history and politics. For many, it is the first time they have seen “the other side” as human. The PCFF hopes for the day that political leaders reach agreement for peace. But they strongly believe that reconciliation between the Israeli and Palestinian people is essential to ensuring that peace is sustainable. Our organization's goals are: To create a framework for a reconciliation between the 2 people that takes into account that any political peace agreement must include an infrastructure for the process of reconciliation. To work towards an end to violence and towards achieving an accepted political agreement. To influence the public and the political decision makers to choose reconciliation and the path of peace over violence and war in order to achieve a just settlement based on empathy and understanding. To avoid the use of bereavement for further violence and retribution. Bereaved PCFF members are opposed to the Occupation and believe that that attaining historical reconciliation between the nations is a prerequisite for turning a future peace treaty into sustainable Peace.
