On Shifting Ground

The Day After Tomorrow in Palestine-Israel: A Tale of Two Peace Activists

As the war on Gaza continues with no end in sight, two peace activists – one Palestinian and one Israeli – are already charting a non-violent path forward. Ray Suarez sits down with Luxembourg Peace Prize laureates, Ali Abu Awwad, founding leader of the Taghyeer (Change) Palestinian National Nonviolence movement, and Dr. Gershon Baskin, the Middle East director of the International Communities Organization, to learn why they maintain hope for a peaceful, two-state solution.
  Ali Abu Awwad was just awarded the Indira Gandhi Prize for Peace.  Learn more.
