<p>The Parents Circle is the club nobody wants to belong to. Rami Elhanan and Bassam Aramin, co-directors of the club, advocate for peace between Israelis and Palestinians after both lost their young daughters to the violence that has embroiled their region for decades. As Israel and Hamas dig in for a protracted fight, the war teeters on the edge of becoming a much wider conflict with many more civilian lives at stake.
