Nonviolence & Resistance in the Middle East & Beyond

WRL’s 2008 PEACE CALENDAR

From Near East and North Africa, the Arab and Muslim worlds, Israel and Palestine come stories of nonviolent action and resistance to oppression. The individuals and projects included in this calendar show that people in the Middle East have not given up on each other or on the desire to live in peace with each other and everyone else.

"As the pages of this year’s War Resisters League calendar turn, we must continue to listen and narrate the stories of those who’ve borne, most directly, the consequences of war. The stories herein help us imagine new and life-giving history."
— from the introduction by Kathy Kelly, Voices for Creative Nonviolence
