Contributor Selection Criteria

At abrahampeace.me, we are committed to maintaining a standard of integrity, inclusivity, and dedication to peaceful coexistence. Writers and editors who wish to contribute to this resource must meet specific criteria that reflect the values central to our mission of fostering peace in the Middle East. Each participant is carefully selected based on their commitment to the principles outlined below:

1. Dedication to Peace: All contributors must firmly believe in and advocate for non-violence as the only acceptable path forward. We require each writer and editor to affirm that violence perpetuates further conflict and that true, lasting peace can only be achieved through dialogue, mutual respect, and understanding.

2. Commitment to Coexistence: Contributors must embrace the reality that all communities currently residing in the region have a right to remain. No individual, family, or group is expected to relocate. Instead, we seek contributors who believe in and support the peaceful coexistence of all people, regardless of their background or the length of their residence in the area.

3. Respect for Indigenous and Established Communities: All indigenous communities in the region are recognized as rightful inhabitants of their lands, with a legitimate and unassailable claim to remain. Similarly, individuals and groups who have more recently settled in the area, regardless of economic motivations, are welcome to remain if they pledge to reject violence and support peaceful integration.

4. Objectivity and Impartiality: Contributors are expected to approach their work with fairness and impartiality. Each writer and editor should be prepared to acknowledge and label contentious issues as disputed when applicable, and to explore potential compromises in a balanced manner.

5. Dedication to Evidence-Based Reporting: Contributors must ensure that all information provided is rooted in historical documentation and verified sources. Content should reflect accurate, indisputable facts wherever possible. Areas of ongoing disagreement or ambiguity will be transparently marked as such, in keeping with our commitment to truthfulness and transparency.

To maintain these standards, all potential contributors are thoroughly vetted through an application and interview process to assess their alignment with abrahampeace.me’s principles of peace, respect, and non-violence. By fostering a community of like-minded individuals dedicated to these ideals, we aim to create a trusted, solution-oriented resource that promotes understanding and lasting peace in the Middle East.
