Respectful Co-RESISTANCE vs. Co-EXISTENCE

Foundation for Interreligious Diplomacy, http://www.fidweb.org/ is an not-for profit organization that promotes an understanding between different religious views, or any believe system really, through respectful recognition of the fact that we don't have to AGREE with one another, but that we can learn to trust each other and come from a place of respect and integrity and agree to DISAGREE, hence co-resistance rather than co-existence. Interesting concept and one worth a ton of thought.  

Think of someone in your immediate world you have come to learn to disagree with on a topic important to you, but you still love them and trust them you just have become accustomed to the fact, that there is this topic you can only agree to disagree on....   now expand that to conflicts around the world that seem irreparable.  If the Israel-Palestine conflict could never be solved, but a truce could be reached by agreeing to totally disagree...
