About

We are a refreshing peaceful movement in a world full of violence, killing, and power-hungry militant politicians who seek to advance their political agendas at the expense of human life.

Please see Charter of the Movement Altisaw in the "About the Movement" Section for more details as to our purpose, goals, and vision.

Altisaw is dedicated to encouraging the equality of peaceful (non-violent) Palestinians by the distribution of web content on our Site in English, Arabic and Hebrew for the public free of charge.

We hope to raise money by selling flags and other products with our trademarked logos.

Our movement started a long time ago. The people, the peaceful Palestinians, were hopeful that they would be treated equally. Their governments betrayed them, but they remained silent. These peaceful Palestinians are our heroes. They smiled in the face of adversity. They were polite when everyone else was mean. They were a good example of how people should conduct their lives: Friendly, peaceful, and having integrity. These people are the basis of our movement.

Then one day in 2016, a West Bank Palestinian gas station attendant was nice to a settler getting fuel. The impact was astounding. Friendships developed out of two groups that were previously enemies. The seeds of peace were planted.

Sometime later in 2016, a West Bank Palestinian was talking to the man who would someday start our movement. In that conversation, the Palestinian said to him, "You Peaceguy", and he took the name as a compliment. Peaceguy designed a flag and talked to many Palestinians about making peace. (This flag is known as "The Original Peaceguy Flag".)

2020 - 2023: Peaceguy's mother did extensive research about the Arab-Israeli conflict and the wars associated with it. Peaceguy learned many things from his mother's wisdom.

7 October 2023: Hamas tragically declared war on Israel. Peaceguy was disappointed that Palestinians could be tricked into killing, kidnapping, raping, instilling fear, and using other guerilla warfare tactics.

20 November 2023: Peaceguy had discussions with a Palestinian about life in the West Bank, what the day-to-day situation entailed. Peaceguy dispelled the myth that "Israelis want to kick out Palestinians". They both realized that for those Palestinians who choose to be peaceful civilians, the occupation must end at any cost and equality is mandatory. Palestinians and Israelis have common ground to stand on: Most citizens just want to live in peace.

23 November 2023: The mother of Peaceguy said that any militant government that takes over is not going to stop being militant if they win. Those warriors are trained to fight, not to develop economic infrastructure, social security, medical facilities, education and civil engineering. They will continue to be militant and attack more, even other countries.
Peaceguy conceived the idea of starting a non-violent peace movement and related the idea to the Palestinian in a heartfelt recording. Peaceguy conceived a flag design and chose it to be the official symbol of the movement. (This flag later became known as the "Altisaw Flag".)

24 November 2023: The Palestinian played the recording and accepted the idea as "a beautiful idea". He related to Peaceguy that the problem is not rooted in religious beliefs, but rather the problem is about how the Israelis treat the Israeli Arabs with fairness and yet treat the Palestinians like "animals with human faces". Peaceguy wrote, "We will be against the corruption. We will be for equality. End occupation. We can do this."

2 December 2023: Peaceguy inadvertently made the first reference to the movement as being "the equality movement" as a description. He and the Palestinian discussed the main points of what would solve the conflict and established what the Palestinians really want. The Palestinian summarized everything in one statement: "We fine with any government, but no occupation". They resolved that giving up voting is a small price to pay for equality, as long as the government will maintain equality for the people. On this very day, Peaceguy started writing the "Citizen Agreement".

8 December 2023: Peaceguy traveled to an Israeli Arab village to seek legal advice about the draft version of the "Citizen Agreement". Sadly, due to a distrust of their Palestinian brothers, the Israeli Arab lawyers politely turned Peaceguy away.

9 December 2023: Peaceguy started writing content for a future website.

12 December 2023: Peaceguy sought help to start a nonprofit organization in Israel. He discovered that the startup process is complicated, requires multiple people, and is very expensive to start and maintain.

25 December 2023: The untaken domain names were a deciding factor in solidifying the name of the movement. Peaceguy did the domain search, and the Palestinian chose the name out of three available possibilities. Peaceguy purchased the "altisaw.com" web domain.

26 December 2023: Peaceguy started writing the "Terms of Use".

24 January 2024: Peaceguy finished drawing the official design of the Altisaw Flag.

28 January 2024: After much research, Peaceguy decided that the bureaucracy of Israel made it impractical to start a nonprofit quickly enough to bring Altisaw's goal into fruition. He decided that he would use an American LLC to protect Altisaw, its founder, staff, and followers from revenge, harassment and attacks by militants, sociopaths and psychopaths.

6 February 2024: Peaceguy sent a draft of the "Citizen Agreement" to the Palestinian, who approved it and liked the wording.

10 February 2024: Peaceguy started writing "The Charter of the Movement Altisaw".

22 February 2024: Peaceguy finished the research and writing of "The Charter of the Movement Altisaw".

24 February 2024: Peaceguy finished the "Citizen Agreement" in Arabic and Hebrew, planning to display it as a fillable-field pdf document on A4 size layout.

5 March 2024: Peaceguy chose a registered agent and applied for ALTISAW LLC.

15 March 2024: The Articles of Organization of ALTISAW LLC were accepted and filed. Our movement became an official company!

30 March 2024: Peaceguy finished writing the "Terms of Use", planning to display them in pdf format.

4 April 2024: Peaceguy was writing this history and decided to summarize how Altisaw's solution developed. "We were two friends who did not want to talk about politics, but we had to share our biases in order to find a solution. After exchanging our dislike of propaganda from each side, we were able to step back from our biases, our pains, and our frustrations. We then discussed our respective needs and discovered that we both had no problems with those needs. If it can work for two friends, it can work for two nations. In fact, the solution is beneficial for everyone. Hopefully, two friends, and two nations, have solved the Israeli-Palestinian conflict."

16 June 2024: Altisaw launched this website and made the "Citizen Agreement" available online to be signed. The peaceful Palestinians' patience and perseverance will now pay off.
