Refusing to Be Enemies

Refusing to be Enemies shares the experiences of more than 100 nonviolent activists and thinkers, primarily in Palestine and Israel.

These thinkers also reflect on the special challenges of joint struggle and their hopes and visions for a shared future in the region. The book can be purchased here.
