Sami Awad: Sacred Activism in Palestine & Israel

Sami Awad is a remarkable Palestinian Christian, an activist and a passionate believer in the power of nonviolence as a strategy to combat oppression and injustice.

 

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict continues to fester and become more intractable. Sami is an inspirational voice that provides real hope and a third way. His organisation is the Holy Land Trust and his talks and articles can be found in many places online. He has spent a night in an Auschwitz hut in an effort to find empathy for those who are his natural enemies, and he has led nonviolent actions around the West Bank protesting the actions of the Israeli military and the policies of the Israeli government.
