About Us

Builders of the Middle East is a nonprofit social media initiative committed to promoting peace, tolerance, and cooperation across the Middle East. With a focus on anti-extremism, the organization aims to inspire the next generation of "builders" who will work toward a more stable, hopeful, and unified region. Drawing support from a diverse range of funders—both Israeli and Palestinian, Jewish and Muslim—Builders of the Middle East stands as a testament to the power of collaboration across cultural and religious boundaries.

The initiative emphasizes the critical distinction between builders, who foster growth and peace, and destroyers, who perpetuate violence and division. Through its platform, Builders of the Middle East advocates for co-existence, understanding, and the rejection of radicalism. By amplifying stories of unity and hope, the movement seeks to create a space where future generations can work together to build a Middle East defined not by conflict, but by collective progress and shared aspirations.
