Our purpose is to enhance communication and create
mutual understanding among all peoples in the Middle East so
that they can resolve the current Palestinian/Israeli conflict
and attain peace.
The Association for Peace and Understanding (APUME) is
not a political group and it does not have a political agenda.
APUME is not a religious group and does not have a
religious agenda. However, religion is important to the
spiritual life of mankind, and APUME encourages the exercise
of religious tolerance and the respect of the religious beliefs
of others.
APUME is dedicated to the development of mutual
understanding among the peoples of the Middle East through
the use of the booklet, The Way to Happiness®
.
The Way to Happiness booklet is a non-religious
guide to better living written by American author and
humanitarian, L. Ron Hubbard. As the principles outlined in
the booklet can be agreed to by all parties in the
Palestinian/Israeli conflict, these principles can form the
basis of communication and mutual understanding and
ultimately, peaceful resolution of the conflict.
APUME applauds and gladly works with any individual or
group that forwards peace in the Middle East.
