Our Call to Action

This is an invitation to all faiths, non-believers, and nationalities to join or organize peaceful, loving candlelight vigils on Christmas Eve to call for a lasting ceasefire and reparations in Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, & Israel. We cannot celebrate the birth of Jesus, an apostle of peace, in Bethlehem, as if the people of his home place and neighboring communities in the region were not bearing a catastrophe of violence, war, subjugation, and suffering. We can’t celebrate the Christmas spirit of Santa Claus’s generosity to the children of the world as if Israeli and Palestinian children were not waiting for the return of their parents who are held captive to return home and the surviving children of Gaza were not living through hell on earth. 

We will gather to embrace in our hearts the humanity of all people in the region, mourning all those who have died and suffered, with a commitment to upholding international law and rejecting war including a shared condemnation of any and all war crimes by any party.  

• We say never again to the bombing of hospitals, schools, homes, mosques, & churches. 
• We say never again to the murder of civilians, doctors, journalists, humanitarian relief workers, UN employees, poets, teachers, and children.
• We say never again towards genocide for anyone.
  

We call on the United Nations, United States of America, and all governments, to immediately cease military aid to all parties and use every diplomatic, legal, and financial lever to secure such a peaceful, democratic, and just resolution for the conflicts in and among these countries. 

We call on the world to repair that which we helped destroy. We must surpass the funds that were mis-used for killing to be used now for repair and peace.

Christmas Eve Vigils for 

Permanent Ceasefire & Repair:
In Palestine, Israel, Lebanon, and Syria!

24-27 December 2024


27 -Dec. / Shepherdstown West Virginia USA

24-December 2024 /Washington DC

On Christmas Eve, Nonviolence International, alongside many groups and communities worldwide, organized vigils to honor the lives and humanity of those affected by ongoing conflicts in Palestine, Israel, Lebanon, and Syria.

In Washington, DC, 40 individuals gathered to light candles, share prayers, and reflect on the pressing need for peace and justice in the region. This gathering was part of a global movement inviting people of all faiths, beliefs, and nationalities to come together in solidarity.

The vigils aimed to center the catastrophic violence, war, and suffering endured by people in the Middle East—particularly in the birthplace of Jesus, Bethlehem. Participants rejected the notion of celebrating Christmas while ignoring the harsh realities faced by families and children in Gaza, the West Bank, and beyond.

We had a vigil with 9 people and went well but forgot to get pictures. But a car full of young Palestinian American women stopped and gave us all cups of hot chocolate. So I was really glad we were there. The group decided to vigil there weekly on Sundays 12:30 to 1:30 starting next week.

Here are some photos from the big recent Washington, DC event for Palestinian humanity that was part of much larger global effort.

We are thrilled that Ahmed Alnaouq's powerful voice was included in the Washington Post.

Here is his excerpt and a link (behind a paywall) to the full article, which includes other perspectives - several not rooted in personal experience or basic human compassion for the suffering of others. When militarists are welcomed into the mainstream press, the media doesn't feel a need to provide "balance." But, for some reason, the few times that Palestinian voices are heard, they present another perspective that often negates Palestinian humanity. 

The slaughter must end

Ahmed Alnaouq: Last week, Israel bombed my family home in Gaza, killing my father, as well as two brothers, three sisters and all of their children, in an instant. One friend described their bodies as “bags of meat” — an arm here, a leg there.

I write to you in mourning. Even now, we Palestinians are not granted the luxury to grieve. Instead, we are burdened with the responsibility to talk, to communicate the extent of our suffering and the injustice wielded against us.

So, first, I must say this: We demand an immediate cease-fire. We demand a lifting of the Israeli siege of Gaza and the restoration of electricity, fuel, water and food. And we demand unimpeded humanitarian access in line with international law.

Today, the word “genocide” is being widely used. I can’t think of another word that captures the magnitude of what Israel, a nuclear-armed military power, continues to unleash on a captive population of children and refugees. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said the quiet part out loud: “Gaza won’t return to what it was before,” he said. “We will eliminate everything.”

But we Palestinians already knew what Gallant had in mind. Corralled in Gaza for the past 17 years, burdened with mass unemployment and poverty — even before white phosphorus filled the skies, or before we lay crushed beneath the rubble — we could not breathe. We were held captive like prisoners who had never committed a crime or shot down when we attempted to peacefully protest our incarceration.

Our 1 million children have never traveled outside Israel’s militarized cage and know nothing but the buzz of drones in the sky tracking their every move.

In the past week, I have lost everything. But I do not seek revenge. There is no “military solution” here, only a collective responsibility to finally grant Palestinians what they have demanded for decades, what they are owed: justice, freedom and their very basic rights as human beings.

Ahmed Alnaouq is the head of We Are Not Numbers, which pairs Palestinian writers with mentors overseas.

Ahmed was also featured in this recent New York Times piece. 

After the Israeli military killed his older brother in an airstrike in Gaza in 2014, Ahmed Alnaouq says, he almost lost his will to live. “I sank into a deep depression,” he told me in a recent phone call. But an American friend convinced him to write about his brother and channel his grief into something productive. Together, they founded We Are Not Numbers, a project that trains young writers in Gaza and publishes their personal essays in English.

The name is a nod to how numbing numbers can be. The higher the death toll, the less we are inclined to care, since the scale of human suffering can feel overwhelming. Statistics don’t trigger empathy and action. Personal stories do.

“This project changed my life because for the first time, I thought that some people can care about us,” Mr. Alnaouq said, describing the response it got outside Gaza.

We Are Not Numbers began as a way to memorialize the dead, but it quickly turned into a lifeline for the living. For young people in Gaza, stuck in a political system with few rights and a blockaded economy with few jobs, it provides a vital outlet for self-expression...

“After losing my family, I did not stop believing in what I believe in,” he told me. “I don’t want other people to feel what I am feeling. Not the Israelis, not the Palestinians.”

7 steps to end the cycle of violence in Israel and Palestine:
The path to peace requires nonviolent action not just from Israelis and Palestinians, but also Americans, the media, aid organizations and others.
By NVI Founder, Mubarak Awad

When will we learn that violence doesn’t lead to security?
To support Israelis and Palestinians is to insist on their right to equally live in peace and freedom — not help structures of state violence and cultures of militarization.
By NVI Board member, Mohammed Abu-Nimer

Solidarity with Palestinians and Jews Sign on Statement. 

By Jonathan Kuttab, NVI co-founder. Cat Zavis, Jewish Civil/Women's Rights Lawyer, Mediator, and Rabbi: Beyt Tikkun. Michael Lerner, Rabbi and Editor of Tikkun magazine.
Esther Azar, Arab Jewish Trauma Activist, and Rabbi: Trauma Informed Rabbinics.

Recent attacks by Israel on Gaza and Hamas fighters on Israel are tragic and will not resolve bring peace and justice to all.

NVI believes that nonviolence is the only way to end the savagery, brutality and cycle of violence between Palestinians and Israelis.

NVI urges all parties to cease all military attacks and prevent further escalation of violence that will only harm innocent civilians on both sides.

Call for an immediate ceasefire and end to all violence, including an immediate halt to attacks towards Israel and Israeli military attacks on Gaza.

Urgent humanitarian action is needed, including the establishment of a humanitarian corridor inside and out of Gaza, for the safe movement of people and the delivery of essential supplies. This includes opening Erez and Kerem Shalom / Abu Salem crossings to allow for the movement of people and goods and remove the ban on access to the sea. 

End violations of international law and impunity, including settlement expansions, forcible transfer, demolitions, settler violence, all part of ongoing and illegal de facto annexation of West Bank territory. Immediately lift all movement restrictions on Palestinian communities in the West Bank to allow the movements of goods and services. 

Take action at the UN Security Council to reaffirm UN Security Council resolutions calling for a nonviolent resolution of disputes, the reversal of the annexation of Greater East Jerusalem and the preservation of the status quo at holy sites.           

NVI supports nonviolent political resolution of the conflict by ending the systemic policies of oppression and discrimination of Palestinians, including the 16-year siege on Gaza and 56-year military occupation of the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including. East Jerusalem.

We hope you will find this helpful and will share it with others.

The Magi: Nonviolent Heroes of the Nativity Story

By Sami Awad, Co-Director, Nonviolence International

As we enter this Christmas season, we are once again drawn to the story of the birth of Jesus—a story rich with symbols of hope, resilience, and divine intervention. Among the many figures in the nativity narrative, the Magi hold a unique and often overlooked place. Their journey, actions, and choices provide us with a profound model of nonviolent resistance and solidarity. Reflecting on their role in light of my own journey of nonviolent activism, I see the Magi as embodying two critical principles of the work we must do in the face of tyranny and injustice: seeking truth through courageous acts of solidarity and engagement and refusing to cooperate with systems of oppression.

The Magi, or wise men from the East, were scholars, seekers, and perhaps political emissaries. They saw the star that signaled the birth of a new king and undertook a dangerous journey into occupied territories to find and honor him. Their mission was not driven by personal ambition or political gain; they were not seeking an alliance with power. Instead, they were engaged in a deeply spiritual quest, one rooted in the search for truth and the recognition of a transformative moment in human history.

In their journey, the Magi demonstrated what I see as the essence of nonviolent activism: a willingness to cross boundaries, confront danger, and stand in solidarity with those who are oppressed. They traveled far, entering unfamiliar and likely hostile territory, not to impose their agenda but to learn, witness, and offer their support. This was, in its essence, a fact-finding mission. They were seeking the child born under extraordinary circumstances, the one prophesied to be the Prince of Peace.

This resonates deeply with the work of nonviolent activists today. When we engage in solidarity with marginalized communities, we too embark on fact-finding and protective missions. We listen to stories, witness the struggles of others, and seek to understand the deeper truths of their experiences. The Magi’s gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh were not just symbolic offerings but acts of nonviolent action beginning with the courage to bear witness, to honor the humanity of those they encounter, and support them in times of need.

The second act of the Magi’s story is perhaps even more striking. Upon their arrival in Jerusalem, they were summoned by King Herod, a paranoid and oppressive ruler who sought to use them for his own ends. Herod feigned interest in the birth of the child, asking the Magi to report back to him so he could “worship” the newborn king. But Herod’s true intentions were sinister: he saw Jesus as a threat to his power and rule, and planned to eliminate him.

The Magi’s response to Herod reveals their deep integrity and courage. After visiting the child and presenting their gifts, they did not return to Herod. Instead of complying with his request, they chose a different path, literally and figuratively. They left for their own country by another route, effectively boycotting Herod and refusing to cooperate with his oppressive plans.

This act of defiance is a powerful example of nonviolent resistance. The Magi did not confront Herod directly or engage in a physical battle against his authority. Instead, they undermined his power by refusing to be complicit in his schemes. Their decision to disobey Herod’s orders protected the child and disrupted the oppressive system that sought to maintain control through violence and fear.

In our own struggles against systems of injustice, the Magi’s actions remind us of the power of non-cooperation. Whether it is through boycotts, civil disobedience, or other forms of nonviolent resistance, we can choose not to participate in systems that perpetuate oppression. This refusal to comply with injustice is not passive; it is an active and courageous choice that challenges the legitimacy of oppressive powers.

The Magi’s journey speaks to us today in various ways. As we look at the wars and injustices in our world, from Palestine to communities across the globe, we see the need for fact-finding missions and acts of solidarity. We are called to step out of our comfort zones, to cross boundaries, and to seek the truth—not for our own gain, but to support those who are fighting for justice and peace.

We are also called to resist the Herods of our time. Whether they take the form of political regimes, economic systems, or societal norms that perpetuate inequality and violence, these modern-day Herods rely on our compliance to maintain their power. The Magi’s quiet but resolute refusal to return to Herod challenges us to examine our own complicity and find ways to withdraw our support from systems of oppression.

This Christmas, as we reflect on the birth of Jesus—the Prince of Peace—let us remember the Magi not just as wise men bearing gifts, but as courageous unarmed civilian protecting activists who embodied the principles of nonviolent resistance. Their journey reminds us that the work of justice and peace begins with a commitment to truth and a refusal to cooperate with injustice. It is a journey that requires courage, humility, and faith, but it is also one that has the power to change the world.

May we, like the Magi, follow the star of hope and light, trusting wherever it leads us, and may we find in their story the inspiration to engage in our own acts of nonviolent activism this Christmas season and beyond. We all are the Magi: Are you ready to follow in their footsteps on your spiritual journey?

 Free Syria and What’s Next?

On Thursday, December 19, we held a special webinar that dove into the future of a free Syria in a post-regime era. The fall of the Assad regime on December 8, 2024, was of historic significance: it marked the end of more than half a century of authoritarian oppression, during which countless thousands of Syrians were disappeared, tortured, or killed by their own government. Since 2011 and as part of the Arab Spring movements, Syrians have experienced both nonviolent and armed resistance. Upwards of 400,000 civilians were killed; millions of others were internally displaced or became refugees. Today, with liberation from the Assad regime, the future of Syria is hopeful but unclear as the transition period begins.  Outside governments continue to interfere in Syria's affairs with sanctions, troops, attacks, and weaponry. Now you can see the webinar recoded with our Syrian nonviolent activists as they talked about their experience and their hopes and plans.  Our experts during the webinar included Syrian nonviolent activists who have filled multiple roles during the past 13+ years of the Syrian revolution.  Hosts were NVI Co-Directors, Michael Beer and Sami Awad.

Our guests included NVI Board Chair Rafif Jouejati, co-founder of FREE Syria, and the principal architect of the Syrian Freedom Charter project and Noura Salam from Sweida.  Nour Salam is a field coordinator and content creator at Baytna, is also a member of the Syrian Women’s Political Movement. They shared their thoughts—and those of the people they represent - on what rebuilding the nation and fostering reconciliation, unity, and justice looks like. This discussion shed light on the paths to recovery and the steps needed to ensure sustainable stability, dignity, and hope for millions of Syrians.

This webinar was a unique opportunity to gain deep insights from sources who have played an important part in the struggle against tyranny and who offered valuable knowledge so you, as part of the global family committed to peace and justice, can contribute to Syria’s bright future.

Palestinian woman shot and killed by Israeli occupation forces’ bullets while picking olives in Jenin

JENIN, October 17, 2024 (WAFA) A 60-year-old woman was shot and killed by Israeli occupation forces in the village of Faqqu'a, northeast of Jenin, on Thursday.

The director of the Red Crescent Society in Jenin, Mahmoud al-Saadi, said that the society's crews transferred a 60-year-old woman who was killed after being shot in the chest with live ammunition to the hospital

The woman was shot by Israeli occupation forces while she was picking olives with her family in the area near the separation and expansion wall built on the lands of the village of Faqqu'a.

The olive harvest season in the West Bank this year is witnessing repeated attacks by settlers and occupation forces, such as burning and cutting down olive trees, stealing the crop, and preventing farmers from reaching their lands.

This morning, colonists opened fire on participants in an event organized by the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission to help farmers from the village of Kafr al-Labad, east of Tulkarm, pick olives from their lands.

UN experts said yesterday that farmers in the occupied West Bank are facing the most dangerous olive season ever this year.

They added that Palestinian farmers are subjected to intimidation, restricted access to land, severe harassment and attacks by armed settlers. They considered that restricting the olive harvest season, destroying orchards and blocking access to water sources are attempts by Israel to expand its illegal settlements. source

US military veteran arrested by Israeli forces in occupied West Bank

Michael Jacobsen was accompanying a Palestinian farmer in Masafer Yatta when he was arrested and threatened with imprisonment

17th of OCT. 2024: A United States military veteran was arrested by Israeli forces while accompanying a Palestinian farmer in a village in the West Bank, according to the International Solidarity Movement (ISM).

Michael Jacobsen was in the Palestinian village of Masafer Yatta in the Hebron governorate when he and other activists as well as Palestinian land owners were approached by Israeli soldiers on Thursday morning.

The ISM said the farmer Jacobsen was accompanying was facing "daily harassment, attacks, and invasions of his private land by Israeli settlers and occupation forces".

The soldiers demanded their identification and later Israeli police were called, who arrested Jacobsen and took him into custody at an interrogation centre.

Police told the US citizen's lawyer that Jacobsen was “endangering the public due to provocation of disturbances” and accused him of entering the country illegally because they suspected him of supporting the Palestinian-led Boycott, Sanctions, and Divestment (BDS) movement.

He was threatened with "imprisonment and deportation if he did not leave the country immediately", according to the ISM, and he chose instead to leave for Jordan.

The news of Jacobsen's arrest in the occupied West Bank comes as Israeli forces have on multiple occasions targeted American and other international activists in the area who assist Palestinians in protesting against Israeli settler encroachment.

Israeli settler violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank has soared since the beginning of Israel's war on Gaza last October.

In June, the United Nations reported that Israeli security forces and Israeli settlers have killed more than 500 Palestinians in the West Bank since the war began.

The United Nations high commissioner for human rights, Volker Turk, said in a report that the cases of these killings showed "consistent violations of international human rights law on the use of force by the ISF (Israeli security forces) through unnecessary and disproportionate use of lethal force and an increase in apparently planned targeted killings".

In August, Israeli forces shot American citizen Amado Sison in the leg while he was at a demonstration held in Beita, a Palestinian village near the occupied West Bank town of Nablus.

Then, nearly one month later in September, Turkish and American national Aysenur Ezgi Eygi was shot dead by Israeli forces in a demonstration in the same village of Beita.source

In Memory of Ziad Abu Helil: A Pillar of Peaceful Resistance and Tribal Leadership

On October 7, 2024, Ziad Abu Helil, a prominent Palestinian leader and peace activist, was killed following a brutal raid by Israeli forces on his home in Dura, south of Hebron. Ziad, affectionately known as the "Icon of Resistance," was a key figure in advocating for Palestinian rights through peaceful means while also standing as a symbol of tribal integrity and conflict resolution in his community. His legacy will continue to inspire those committed to justice and peace.

Ziad's contributions to Palestinian society and beyond were manifold. As the tribal elder (Mukhtar) of Dura, he worked tirelessly to mediate and resolve conflicts within his community, playing a vital role in maintaining social cohesion. His peaceful approach extended beyond local concerns as he engaged actively in nonviolent resistance against the Israeli occupation. He was present in various peaceful protest actions, including in the village of Al-Araqib in the Naqab Desert and the Bab Al-Shams encampment near Jerusalem. His steadfastness made him a symbol of resistance, courage, and unity.

Ziad’s famous phrase, “بيهمش" (It doesn’t matter), uttered when confronted by Israeli soldiers accusing Palestinian children of throwing stones, embodied his unflinching resolve. He continually advocated for the rights of Palestinians to peacefully resist oppression, even in the face of violence and injustice.

His last public action—a demonstration to retrieve the bodies of Palestinian women held by Israeli forces—was a testament to his unwavering commitment to justice. His leadership in this protest, despite threats and arrests, successfully pressured Israeli authorities to reconsider their policies.

Nonviolence International honors the memory of Ziad Abu Helil as an exemplar of nonviolent resistance. His leadership, courage, and dedication to his people are a reminder of the power of peaceful action in the face of immense adversity.source

Aysenur Ezgi Eygi Killed While Peacefully Protecting Palestinians

Nonviolence International has long supported third-party nonviolent action around the world and in Palestine/Israel through training, research, fiscal sponsorship, and advocacy.  NVI strongly encourages well-meaning visitors, delegations, and organized solidarity accompaniment and co-resistance to go to Palestine/Israel. This page highlights some of the many activities by courageous international people and groups in Palestine/Israel who seek to protect civilians and human rights.

On September 3, 2024, Aysenur Ezgi Eygi traveled to the occupied West Bank to join the unarmed civilian protection (UCP) group, the International Solidarity Movement (ISM)/Faz3a. According to her family, she felt a deep responsibility to stand with Palestinian civilians facing ongoing repression and violence, particularly from settlers. On September 6, 2024, while attending a peaceful protest in Beita, Eygi was tragically shot in the head by an Israeli soldier. Source.

A photo of Aysenur Eygi during her graduation.

Aysenur Ezgi Eygi was born on July 27, 1998, in Turkey and raised in Seattle, Washington. She graduated from Seattle Central College in 2022 with an Associate’s degree in Art and completed her Bachelor’s of Arts degree in Psychology with a minor in Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures at the University of Washington in June 2024. She was actively involved in pro-Palestinian activism and was considering pursuing graduate studies in Near Eastern archaeology.

Nonviolence International, an organization dedicated to promoting nonviolent resistance and human rights, strongly condemns the killing of Eygi. We express deep outrage at the violent suppression of peaceful protests towards both Palestinians and internationals. This tragic incident underscores the dangers faced by activists advocating for basic human and civil rights in the occupied territories. Nonviolence International reaffirms its commitment to supporting peaceful activism and standing in solidarity with those resisting oppression.

Please call on the United Nations, Turkey, and the United States of America to launch independent investigations and to take measures to protect everyone.
