SOLIDARITY IN THE FACE OF GENOCIDE

Palestinian non-violence advocate Sami Awad and Israeli political activist Jeff Halper are interviewed by ICAHD-USA co-chair and ICMEP Executive Director Michael Spath. They discuss the state of the resistance in Gaza and throughout Palestine as Israel continues its ethnic cleansing and genocidal agenda. The Israel-US war against Iran (and Lebanon, too) has taken our eyes off the continuing violence, displacement, and humanitarian crisis in Palestine. How can we counter Israel’s normalization distraction campaign?

Sami Awad is a Bethlehem-based advocate for non-violent resistance to the Israeli occupation. He is Co-Director of Nonviolence International, leading non-violence training and education, trauma resilience and leadership development. Sami founded the Holy Land Trust in 1995 to work for a nonviolent future of Palestinian justice. He is a well-known inspirational speaker; his recent book is The Sacred Awakening.

Jeff Halper is an American-born Israeli anthropologist, author, lecturer, and political activist who has lived in Israel since 1973. He is the Director of the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions and a co-founder of The One Democratic State Campaign. Jeff has been twice nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, most recently in 2025 with Hebron-based Palestinian activist, Issa Amro.
