Combatants for Peace

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Combatants for Peace (Hebrew: לוחמים לשלום) is an organization of Israelis and Palestinians who are veterans of armed conflict, and have concluded that there can be no solution through violence. The Israeli members served as combat soldiers in the Israel Defense Forces, while the Palestinian members "were involved in acts of violence in the name of Palestinian liberation."

The organization, founded in 2005, supports a two state solution to the conflict. A statement on their website [1] says, "We call for the establishment of a Palestinian State, alongside the State of Israel. The two states can exist in peace and security beside each other."

Combatants for Peace has organized a series of meetings between veterans from both sides, most taking place in East Jerusalem.

In January and February 2007, Brit Tzedek v'Shalom, the Jewish Alliance for Justice and Peace, sponsored a 22-city speaking tour featuring a Palestinian and an Israeli representative of Combatants For Peace.
