...population has dropped between 50% and 80% in the last three generations and now stands at about 7,000 across the island.

"Many, many Israelis come, and Europeans and many Palestinians," Abed-Rabbo tells TIME. "Here we have meetings of love, of peace, for a new way. We don't just need to talk about peace on television. We also need to sit with people, to get to know them, my kids, their kids, to bring them so they can play with each other. That's what love is. You bring people together. That's how you make...
