Advocacy & Raising Awareness
We are raising our voices to push our leaders to stop perpetuating war, occupation and the cycle of violence.
Joint Demonstrations
At Combatants for Peace, we organize joint nonviolent demonstrations in the West Bank to shine a light on ongoing injustices and challenge the occupation. In our joint demonstrations, we stand side by side, Israelis and Palestinians, to protest settlement expansion, home demolitions, the severe restrictions on Palestinians’ freedom of movement and the siege on Gaza. We are also active within the coalition of Israeli left-wing peace activists in Israel; co-leading protests against the occupation and towards freedom and equality for all.
Nonviolent Direct Action Campaigns
We organize nonviolent direct action campaigns in Area C of the West Bank to support Palestinian communities facing systemic injustice and displacement. Some of our past campaigns include a month-long sit-in and "solidarity tent" to protect the village of Khan Al Ahmar from demolition, a water campaign challenging unjust water policies, and a fight to restore Palestinian access to a road that was taken and given to Israeli settlers. We also use creative forms of resistance, like our “Freedom March” and “Theater of the Oppressed” performances, that include art and drama as a form of protest and nonviolent resistance.
International Advocacy
We engage in international advocacy by organizing speaking tours all around the world. We meet with politicians, cultural and religious leaders, peace activists, and other influencers to share our work and vision for a just and lasting peace. Through these conversations, we aim to inspire international solidarity, build connections, and motivate people to take action in support of equality, justice, and an end to the occupation.
Tours for Diplomats
We lead diplomatic tours in the West Bank, guided by experienced Palestinian and Israeli activists. These tours offer foreign diplomats and international delegations a firsthand look at the reality of life under occupation. We provide an opportunity for ambassadors and global leaders to meet the communities we work with, hear their stories, and witness the challenges they face. Through these tours, we aim to foster understanding, inspire action, and build international solidarity for justice and peace.
