condemnation

tamarenson — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 08:49:42 +0000

Combatants for Peace condemns the recent upsurge in violent acts carried out by groups whose entire purpose is to exacerbate the conflict and destroy any chance of reconciliation or of peaceful relations between the Israeli and Palestinian people. We call on our leaders to resist from cooperating with these violent forces, who are attempting to instill fear and terror in our hearts and to divert the efforts of peace from their course. These are difficult moments, in which we are put to the test; we are obligated to continue to strive with courage and determination towards a real solution, one acceptable for both sides. We have the ability to use these events as tools to empower our mutual commitment to peace and non-violence, to draw people who believe in peace on both sides closer, and to isolate and condemn the groups who wish to harm efforts for peace and to disarm them oftheir power and influence.

Combatants for Peace observes the direct peace talks hopefully, out of a deep faith in the necessity of non-violent actions between the sides and their power to create relations of trust, brotherhood and mutual growth for the good of both peoples.

Iftar dinner in the village of Far’un

tamarenson — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 09:35:50 +0000

The Tel aviv-Tul Karem group of Combatants for Peace invite you, the members of CFP and it’s supportes, to an Iftar dinner of the Ramadan Month in the village of Far’un this Friday, the 27th of August.

The village of Far’un is siutated South of Tul Karem and is adjacent to the separation obstacle. The village’s inhabitants have suffered from expropriation and house demolitions in the past due to the construction of the fence and the policy of construction limitation within the C zone (under the control of Israel). Recently 16 demolition orders were given to various buildings; private homes, factories and a soccer field. In resemblance to our joint struggle in the village of Shufa against the blocking of two parts of the village and mobility limitations, we will struggle against injustices caused by the occupation in the village of Far’un.

We invite you to join us this Friday for a joint Iftar dinner with the Far’un inhabitants.

Beforehand a short tour will take place and an explanation on the policy of house demolitions in the village will be given.

We call you, the members of “Combatants for Peace” and it’s supporters, to join us, express your solidarity and listen to the inhabitants of Far’un tell us about the impossible reality which is their life.

The event will take place on Friday the 27.8. The bus will leave from Tel aviv (Arlozorov train station, in front of the rental car company), at 16:30. Estimated return: 22:30.

Transport is based on private cars. A bus will be provided if deemed necessary. You will be informed of the cost of the dinner in the next few days.

Please sign up in this form by Thursday, 26th of August. A quick registration is important, so that we can assign the participants to private cars and be prepared according to the number of guests.
