COMBATANTS FOR PEACE
Combatants for Peace was founded by ex-Israeli military and former Palestinian fighters, putting aside their weapons to show “there is another way” and standing together as a bi-national community which is based on non-violence!
Their Alternative Memorial Day in Tel-Aviv, which brings together more and more participants every year to hear bereaved Palestinian and Israeli speakers, might one day become a mainstream event.
