The US has long been the most dominant international player in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. As a result, US citizens bear a deep responsibility to address our government’s role and support Palestinian and Israeli peace efforts. This training will provide both seasoned organizers and new activists with the skills and experience needed to make a real impact.
