Pacifist Posse

Mubarak Awad, who established the Palestinian Centre for the Study of Nonviolence, is one of those folks whom I admire for their persistence in promoting non-violence in the face of daunting examples of disappointment. Mr. Awad advocates Gandhian solutions to conflicts in what has to be one of the most difficult regions of the world: The lands along the eastern end of the Mediterranean.

Wikipedia entry about Mr. Awad. Here’s a link to a news report about a presentation at a Modesto (CA, US) church, to a blog entry about one of Mr. Awad’s talks, and (of course) to Nonviolence International.
