Israeli pacifism

Israeli pacifism is a movement within Israeli society advocating for non-violence and peaceful solutions to conflicts, particularly regarding the Israeli-Palestinian issue. It emerged from the recognition of the toll that war and violence take on both Israelis and Palestinians. Israeli pacifists often advocate for dialogue, reconciliation, and coexistence, emphasizing human rights and justice. Various groups, like "Peace Now" and "B'tselem," work toward promoting peace and often challenge governmental policies they view as perpetuating conflict, seeking to foster a society that prioritizes peace over militarism. The movement reflects a desire for lasting solutions through understanding rather than force.
