Gila Svirsky: "Desperately Seeking Security"

"We seek to demonstrate to Israelis that security is not the end-result of having a strong, aggressive army, but rather the product of a broad range of activity, which includes living in a society that cares for its poor, reduces violence, protects its natural resources and co-exists in peace with its neighbours."
