On April 25th, PeaceMakers from area 
mosques, synagogues, and churches broke the myth that Muslim, Jew, Christian and others can not work together for peace." This myth, that we fight and always have been fighting, is historically false," says organizer Bruce Barrett. "We paint these signs before you today as a public demonstration of our commitment to peace, health, and justice for the Israeli and Palestinian people," declares the group. Popular media and bad preaching told us that our faith traditions have nothing in common; and yet here we are, painting and working together for peace and justice in Israel and Palestine.
Twelve peace groups volunteered. Each group pledged to raise five hundred dollars ($500) for The Combatants For Peace, a non-violent group of Israeli and Palestinian veteran fighters turned peacemakers. "To date, we have collected over $5,000 in donations," with checks still coming in. We should hit $6,000 before we are done. All of this money went to The Combatant For Peace.

The new signs are a collaborative effort between The CombatantsForPeace.Org, IWagePeace.Org and a group of Jewish and Muslim medical students at Yale New Haven Hospital called PeacebyPeace.org. The central figures in the mural are an Israeli and a Palestinian youth, (identified in the sign by their national flags and by their yarmulke and kefiyah).
The sign was posted on May 6th on I-95 in West Haven facing north bound traffic between exit 41 and 42 on the left hand side.
