Dear Friends of CfP,
Welcome to the international Friends of Combatants for Peace - thank you for taking an active role in supporting peace, justice and collective liberation for Palestinians and Israelis. We are excited to launch our first event for this community and hope you will join us:
An Exclusive Conversation with Israeli & Palestinian Co-founders Avner Wishnitzer & Sulaiman Khatib August 5 - 8:00pm Jerusalem time (online)
Avner Wishnitzer is an academic, historian, peace activist and former Israeli soldier in the special forces who refused to serve in the Occupied Territories during the 2nd Intifada.
Sulaiman Khatib is a former fighter in the armed resistance against the occupation and was sentenced to 15 years in prison at the age of 14. In prison, Suli learnt about nonviolent resistance and transformed his way of thinking and approach to achieving freedom and justice for his people.
We will hear their personal stories and how they came to create Combatants for Peace nearly 20 years ago. We will also have an opportunity to discuss your questions and the movement today. |
