Combatants for Peace: There is another way! In 2006, Israeli and Palestinian former combatants, people who had taken an active role in the conflict, laid down their weapons and established Combatants for Peace. The egalitarian, bi-national, grassroots organization was founded on the belief that the cycle of violence can only be broken when Israelis and Palestinians join forces. Combatants for Peace is the only organization, worldwide, in which former fighters on both sides of an active conflict have laid down their weapons, choosing to work together for peace and justice. Hear two members of this organization speak in person - an Israeli and a Palestinian - both former combatants now part of Combatants for Peace. Click here to see and share the Facebook Event page.
