OUR MISSION

Research shows that extremism flourishes in environments of desperation and exclusion.

When people—especially young people—lack economic opportunity, dignity, and a stake in their community's future, they become vulnerable to extremist recruitment.

OrNoor tackles this by simultaneously:

Transforming American Jewish consciousness (the constituency shaping U.S. policy and philanthropy)

Creating real economic opportunity and dignity for Palestinians (and Arabs more broadly), giving them alternatives to desperation and extremism

Demonstrating viable models of Jewish-Arab cooperation that shift regional narratives from zero-sum conflict to mutual benefit

OUR APPROACH

THE DUAL-PILLAR MODEL

Pillar 1

Economic Development & Opportunity

Launch a development fund financing collaborative Israeli-Palestinian business ventures (agritech, tech, renewables, social enterprises, manufacturing). This creates material stakes in cooperation—not charity, but viable businesses generating sustainable income for Palestinians and Israelis alike.

Joint ventures c

pillar 2

Immersive Encounters for American Jews

Bring 12–15 American Jewish influencers to welcoming GCC countries (UAE, Jordan, Oman) for 7–10 day immersive experiences. Research shows positive personal contact is the most powerful antidote to prejudice. Participants move beyond inherited narratives and fear, returning to their communities as credible advocates for understanding and justice. This shifts the political and philanthropic landscape in America—creating support for sustainable peace rather than perpetual conflict.
