invite you to a presentation by
Sami Awad Director, Holy Land Trust
Palestinian Non-Violent Resistance: A
Viable Option for Winning a Two State Peace?
Tuesday, April 26, 2005, 8:30 a.m. -
10:00 a.m.
Carnegie Endowment, 1st Floor Choate Room 1779 Massachusetts
Ave., NW
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has called for an end to
Palestinian violence against Israel as a weapon of struggle and
has invited Israel to renew negotiations for a genuine two-state
peace. He and Israeli Prime Minister Sharon have called for a
cease-fire. If negotiations that promise an end to unilateral
actions, security and peace, based on a viable, contiguous
Palestinian state with a capital in East Jerusalem do not come
about, will non-violent resistance by the Palestinians succeed
in changing the dynamic?
Sami Awad, Director of the Holy Land Trust in Bethlehem, is a
leading philosopher, practitioner, and organizer of non-violent
political action.
**Coffee, doughnuts and macaroons will be served**
Please RSVP to the Foundation for Middle East Peace with your
name, e-mail address, and your affiliation.
