This article reveals truth, reality, unaltered dimensions, feelings, talents and major work of leading Arab and Israeli artists living in the Near East, Middle East and spread around the world. There are a lot of pros and cons opinions expressed herewith. They are NOT ours. Those opinions were deemed indispensable to be included in our article, because they constitute the very fabric of similarities and differences in way of life, politics, social structure and substructure, artistic ideologies and accomplishments, social and artistic struggles, genius, visions of today and tomorrow. This article should prove extremely informative and educational. We have included and encompassed several articles and statements issued by all parties. In addition, we have carefully selected the work of featured Arab and Israeli artists for obvious reasons. We are NOT in the politics business. We are artists like you. Sometime we teach and almost all the time we learn. You will read about several communiqués, statements, reviews, news and articles that appeared in numerous publications and issued in very contradictory and parallel situations Art is like music. It is an international language. A universal human way of expression, feelings, fear, joy, sorrow, anxiety, hope, success, failure. Above all, art is the ultimate human truth.

My confession:” I have never met a man or a woman who I did not like. In my crazy life, I came to know one thing and that what I know is NOTHING! Only art brings me close to God. And only in God or that Supreme Cosmic Intelligence and Goodness my heart rejoices and my tears are warm, because GOD IS THE PERFECT ARTIST! Real to many of us, Abstract to many others.”
A few years ago, I was lecturing in Washington, DC, USA on the global effect and influence of art in all its forms on people of the earth.
