The Israeli-Palestinian Peace Movement: Combatants for Peace

This book provides the results of research conducted with members of the Israeli-Palestinian peace movement Combatants for Peace. This organization was formed in 2005 through the unlikely partnering of Palestinians who had formerly participated in violent resistance and Israelis who had once served as soldiers in the IDF but now refuse to serve in the occupied territories. These individuals have committed themselves to work together through nonviolent action for a peaceful two-state solution.  Their stories offer an inspiring message of peace and hope. The book provides recommendations for transformative peace building based on the research results.
