Hidaya Said Najmi, Marianne Albina, and Gila Svirsky

Three women each living with the daily reality of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will share their experiences and hopes for a just peace. Over the past four years of Israeli-Palestinian fighting, they have witnessed the surrounding deterioration and have made a commitment to travel throughout the United States to address American audiences about their hopes for the future and what must be done to improve today s grim situation. Please join us for this unique opportunity to hear a personal side of this painful conflict from women whose lives have been shaped by the ongoing violence. Participants include Hidaya Said Najmi, a Muslim Palestinian architect, Marianne Albina, a Christian Palestinian writer, and Gila Svirsky, a Jewish Israeli veteran peace activist. (This appearance is part of a national tour organized by Partners for Peace.)
