Is it a group of friends or is it a program? If its a program try showing a brochure. In my opinion the best thing you can do is go the Mom route get her to influence your Dad. In the meantime try demonstrating how responcible you are and find out his specific objections.

Find out why exactly he is worried. It may have something to do with the ongoing violence and unrest there. Will your group be travel to or close to where a lot of the violence is (Gaza, I believe)?

Find out his concerns and address them. He could have a valid point, or not.
