OneVoice Movement

The OneVoice Movement (Hebrew: קול אחד, Arabic: حركة صوت واحد) founded in 2002, is a global initiative that supports grassroots activists in Israel, Palestine, and internationally who are working to build the human infrastructure needed to create the necessary conditions for a just and negotiated resolution to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.

OneVoice is a 501c(3) non-profit organization located in the United States and Europe, whose funds support regional partners based in Tel Aviv and Ramallah.

[2] OneVoice works with regional partners in Israel and Palestine who are similarly committed to nonviolent conflict resolution and reversing trends of polarization and extremism, building a social context upon which a solution can be agreed upon and implemented.

[3] OneVoice was founded by entrepreneur Daniel Lubetzky in the spring of 2002 in the wake of the failure at the 2000 Camp David Summit and renewed violence between Israelis and Palestinians.

[5] Under Makhlouf and Harris and the global leadership of former USAID Director to West Bank and Gaza, Dr. Howard Sumka, and former US Ambassador to Morocco Marc Ginsburg, OneVoice also engaged in several campaigns in the late 2000s to mobilize the Israeli and Palestinian grassroots and gauge public opinion on the two-state solution and end to the conflict.

at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, OneVoice Youth Leaders presented video statements from Tel Aviv,[10] Jerusalem,[11] and Ramallah[12] on the campaign to 2,000 dignitaries.

[13] Later that November, OneVoice led a delegation to the Annapolis Conference to express the support of the overwhelming majority of Israelis and Palestinians for the two-state solution[14] and to demonstrate solidarity with the leaderships as they committed to reaching an agreement within one year.

[15] "Imagine: 2018" sought to transform apathy into inspiration among average Israelis and Palestinians by asking them to visualize what the region would look like in 10 years if a peace agreement were signed.

[16] At the end of the contest, OneVoice Israel received third prize in the Effie Awards' non-profit organizations category, and the most creative and provocative essays from "Imagine 2018" were published in Hebrew and Arabic and disseminated to dozens of top Israeli and Palestinian leaders.

Using the results of the poll, OneVoice launched a series of town hall meetings across Israel and Palestine, revealing the often private views of the majority in each society and demonstrating that there was a partner on the other side despite the recent violence.

"Peace, It Also Pays Off" highlighted the positive impact an agreement with the Palestinians will have on the daily economic issues Israelis care about most—from affordable housing to food prices, from the job market to healthcare.

This grassroots outreach was paired with an aggressive social media campaign, juxtaposing Lapid's public comments in support of negotiations with a call to back those pledges with action.
