“The real struggle is not between East and West… but between education and propaganda.
✨
All real living is meeting.
✨
The world is not an obstacle on the way to God; it is the way.
✨
When two people relate to each other authentically and humanly, God is the electricity that surges between them
✨
The world is not comprehensible, but it is
embraceable: through the embracing of one of its beings.”

— Martin Buber (1878–1965) Jewish philosopher and theologian, advocated Jewish-Arab cooperation in Palestine.

Buber advocated for a bi-national state in Palestine, where Jews and Arabs could live together in peace and share sovereignty.

His philosophy of dialogue and his belief in the importance of human relationships influenced his advocacy for Jewish-Arab cooperation.

He believed that the conflict between Jews and Arabs could only be resolved through dialogue and mutual understanding.

Buber founded the League for Jewish-Arab Rapprochement and Cooperation in 1939, which consolidated all of the bi-national groups.

He also helped found Brit Shalom (Covenant of Peace) in 1925.

Buber's advocacy for Jewish-Arab cooperation was reflected in his writings, including his private and open letters, addresses, and essays, which are collected in the book "A Land of Two Peoples: Martin Buber on Jews and Arabs."

Buber's vision for a just society in Palestine was for a state in which Jews and Arabs could live peaceably together, cooperating for the good of each other and society.
