How can dialogue help the imbalance of power between groups?

Some Palestinian members of CFP are accused of normalisation. How do you understand normalisation in this context? Does normaliation prmote helplessnes or resilience?

Israeli and Palestinian combatants do not enjoy equality on any level; it is nonsense to believe they can work together to a peaceful solution". Does an Ethical Mindset help us address this issue?
How can groups like Combatants for Peace impact within a politics of imabalance of power counteract helplessness and hopelessness?
