Combatants for Peace Tour Comes to LA

WHERE: Skirball Cultural Center, 2701 N Sepulveda Blvd

WHO: Combatants for Peace Tour Speakers in Los Angeles:

Amy Wilentz will be moderating and Yuval Ron, Craig Taubman, and Palestinian vocalist Saleem will be performing.

Sulaiman Al Hamri is the Palestinian coordinator for Combatants for Peace. He spent four-and-a-half years in Israeli prisons for his involvement in anti-occupation protests and demonstrations before deciding to pursue a non-violent approach to resolving the conflict.

Elik Elhanan (Jan. 8-27) is the Israeli coordinator of Combatants for Peace. He is familiar with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict both as a fighter and as a victim: from 1995 to 1998 he served as a soldier in an IDF combat unit. In 1997 his sister was killed by a Palestinian suicide bombing in Jerusalem.

Shimon Katz (Jan. 28-Feb. 9) served for four years as an officer in an elite IDF unit. After studying meditation in the Far East, he became interested in non-violent ways of living.

ABOUT: Combatants for Peace movement was founded in 2005 by Israelis and Palestinians who were once actively involved in perpetuating the cycle of violence. They decided to put down their weapons, and to fight instead for peace through dialogue, reconciliation and educational outreach. In addition to organizing countless meetings between Israeli and Palestinian veterans, the Combatants for Peace have worked together to raise the consciousness in both larger Israeli and Palestinian societies of the aspirations and fears of those on the "other side," and in so doing to create partners in dialogue.

Sponsor: L A Chapter of Brit Tzedek v'Shalom

Co-sponsors: Dr. Jordan Farkas Foundation, Americans for Peace Now, Rabbi Neil Comess-Daniels of Beth Shir Sholom (for identification purposes only), Muslim Public Affairs Council, Islamic Center of Southern California, CODEPINK: Women for Peace, Rabbi Haim Beliak's JewsOnFirst.org, B'nai Horin-Children of Freedom, Rabbi Steven B.
