    ISRAEL/PALESTINE: Israeli and Palestinian Women Launch Joint Arts and Crafts Businesses in Effort to Promote Reconciliation, Peace As the sun set over Jerusalem, about one hundred women milled around tables covered with hand-made crafts. There were delicate earrings, hand-embroidered shawls, olive wood jewelry boxes and brightly colored ceramic bowls. There was chatter in Hebrew and Arabic and a lot of laughter. It was the third annual pre-holiday craft and jewelry sale sponsored by Joint Ventures for Peace, a group of Israeli and Palestinian women who have opened small businesses together. What is unique about this group is that each craft project is fashioned by a pair of women — one Israeli and one Palestinian. But each time they need to work together, it requires that a permit be obtained from Israeli officials: either for the Israeli partner to enter the Palestinian territories or for the Palestinian woman to enter Israel.
