b'Robi Damelin lost her son David to a Palestinian sniper. Ali Abu Awwad lost his older brother Yousef to an Israeli soldier. But, instead of clinging to traditional ideologies and turning their pain into more violence, they\\u2019ve decided to understand the other side \\u2014 Israeli and Palestinian \\u2014 by sharing their pain and their humanity. They tell of a gathering network of survivors who share their grief, their stories of loved ones, and their ideas for lasting peace. They don\\u2019t want to be right; they want to be honest.'
