Friends, A new article, "Beautiful Resistance" in Palestine - Challenging Occupation by forging inner peace has been uploaded to the Radical Ecological Democracy website: https://radicalecologicaldemocracy.org/beautiful-resistance-in-palestine-cha... Resistance is a multifaceted undertaking - it demands clarity of purpose, steady action, regular strategic and tactical innovations, and access to resources. But, most importantly, it needs committed people at peace with their purpose. In Palestine, where the ugliness of occupation, violation of human rights and dehumanizing oppression are a lived reality, how do people respond without succumbing to frenzied violence, particularly its youth who grow up witnessing the unceasing shattering of their future, everyday? *Alrowwad, *a Palestinian cultural and arts organization uses the philosophy of “Beautiful Resistance” to work with the country’s youth and children to establish a sense of creative peace in their hearts and minds, with the ultimate aim of transmitting that ideal to the rest of the Palestinian society, and to lay the “alternative” pathway to freedom and self-rule.
