This article recounts an attempt by administration and faculty to create a multinational and multicultural vision for Tel Hai Academic College in the Galilee in Israel. This uncommon initiative in the Israeli academia intends to transform the campus into a unique academic institution allowing equality and visibility for all cultural and national minorities and, above all, for the Arab minority. The article focuses on 1 instance of this complex and difficult process by outlining the distinct perspectives of 2 participants, an Arab and a Jew, the authors of this article, who were among the initiators of the endeavor. Their accounts, which uncover the obstacles, disappointments, and multifaceted insights experienced by each of them, demonstrate the unpredictable complexities evoked by such a radical scheme under conditions of a national conflict. The article also draws some inferences and suggestions for similar institutional processes
