In summary, almost all participants approved that the following factors are the most influential and agreed that further actions must address these root causes satisfactorily: | |||
Obstacle #41 (3 votes): Religious fundamentalists | |||
Obstacle #5 (6 votes): Lack of strong movement that educates | |||
The results of the obstacle root cause map indicate that the major obstacles in achieving the vision are caused not only by Religious fundamentalists but also by a lack of strong movement to educate people, to change their attitude and their perceptions. | |||
Once again we see that the obstacles with the deepest drive are in a cycle. This means that these two ideas Obstacle #5: Lack of strong movement that educates and Obstacle #41: Religious fundamentalists are tied to each other and if addressed together they will have significant influence on the obstacles above them. | |||
Participants agreed that educating people about peace and getting to know one another’s culture and religion is crucial in moving towards a vision where Palestinians and Israelis may coexist. | |||
Along with the root obstacles, the following ones (positioned above the root obstacles) also indicate the need to be addressed: Obstacle #20: The end of occupation and settlements and Obstacle #15: The controversial issues: Jerusalem and the refugees. These are obstacles that cannot be transformed easily, however, peace-groups, politicians, and the international community could collaborate to tackle them and maybe then open up the possibilities for the tree of vision to become a reality. | |||
In sum, progress is difficult but can be made on different levels and several factors can be addressed through educating people from both communities. | |||
