"Peace Through Pork" is an evolving practice that is based on interpersonal contact and dialog.
The core element of "Peace Through Pork" is the offering of delicious, fried, cured, pig flesh to passers by. This is done in front of a banner proclaiming the event in english, arabic and hebrew.

Can we allow bacon to be that first step towards a broader conversation?
Is bacon not the metaphor for all of our fears and desires?
