Combatants for Peace!

Monks and Punks

01/15/24 • 46 min

There’s a group in the Middle East that brings together Israelis and Palestinians who refuse to keep engaging in violence.

They are called Combatants for Peace. They are Israeli veterans and former Palestinian fighters, who have realized that war is a real dead end. They engage in dialogue and meetings, and get connected rather than engage in more bloodshed.

With all the new evidence of Gaza genocide, it seems more and more important that we as a global society take a new look at nonviolence and how to create dialogue rather than war.

Monks and Punks' Sander Hicks interviews Palestinian activist in the West Bank who speaks for Combatants for Peace. Her name is Mai Shahin. this is our interview. she is a dedicated activist, and from her words, you will learn a hell of a lot of new information about what it’s like to be a Palestinian today, in a world oppressed by war, but holding onto the light, working for peace.
