Combatants for Peace

Combatants for Peace

Combatants for Peace is the proud winner of the 2009

We are a group of Israeli and Palestinian individuals who were actively involved in the cycle of violence in our area. The Israelis served as combat soldiers in the Israel Defense Forces and the Palestinians were involved in acts of violence in the name of Palestinian liberation.
We all used weapons against one another, and looked at each other only through weapon sights; however today we cooperate and commit ourselves to the following:

• We no longer believe that the conflict can be resolved through violence
• We believe that the blood bath will not end unless we act together to terminate the occupation and stop all forms of violence.
• We call for the establishment of a Palestinian State, alongside the State of Israel. The two states can exist in peace and security one by the other.
• We will use only non violent means to achieve our goals and call for both societies to end violence.
