Dear Friends,

While the extremes of Israel’s political right wing leaders are jostling for positions of power, daily violence is spiralling out of control. With a torrent of dangerous Nationalism sweeping the country following the latest elections in Israel, the numbers of dead and injured are rising and an alarming number of families, overwhelmingly Palestinian, are once again dealing with bereavement, loss and pain. There are repeated calls for calm, and to find a way to end this latest wave of horror, and they are very welcome. But we must also call for solutions, for accountability, and for the end of the occupation - once and for all.

Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Tor Wennesland, recently told the UN Security Council;

“The immediate priority is to work to calm the situation and reverse the negative trends on the ground. This will require determined actions by both parties, supported by the international community.”

Combatants for Peace is on the ground. We have the solutions, we understand the pain and suffering caused by the violence we have witnessed, and we know there is another way. We are educating young people, reaching isolated communities, and training the activists of tomorrow to make a difference today.

On this #GivingTuesday we are turning to you, the international community, and asking you to donate today - keep hope alive in Palestine and Israel!

Sign up as a recurring donor, and be invited to a special audience with the original founders and leaders of our movement.

Your donation will support young people at risk of turning to violence, and allow more Israelis and Palestinians to meet, understand each other, and build a better tomorrow.

In Peace & Solidarity from Israel/Palestine,
