BACKGROUND:

Brit Tzedek v'Shalom is a US based Jewish peace organization of over 36,000 individuals whose mission is to educate and mobilize American Jews in support of a negotiated two-state resolutioon to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

In winter 2007, Brit Tzedek v'Shalom organized a 22 city tour of the United States by representatives of Combatants For Peace.

Combatants For Peace is a group of Israelis and Palestinians who were formerly involved in the cycle of violence. The Israelis served as combat soldiers in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Palestinians were engaged in acts of violence in the name of Palestinian liberation. After brandishing weapons for so many years, they decided to put down their guns and fight for peace.

On January 25, 2007, Sulaiman Al-hamri and Elik Elhanan, the Palestinian and Israeli coordinators of Combatants For Peace, spoke at Beth Emet Synagogue in Evanston, Illinois.

"I AM NOT SHOOTING AND I AM NOT CRYING" is a record of that event.

RELIGION IS THE EXCUSE, POLITICS THE REASONING, MONEY THE TRUE MOTIVATION.

@emmashpayer Why would you say such a thing? Here you have these gentlemen working toward a peaceful solutions and here you are blaming one side. Both sides have plenty of innocent blood on their hands and continuing illegal settlements is not the way you show that you want peace.

[emmashpayer]

Shame that on palestinian side not so many like this gentelman,Israel wants peace and we had enough from the other side shooting on the civilians,thousands of rockets.

After all the odious tripe I have seen on this venue, after reading all the scornful invective of the maggots who come crawling out of the woodwork to spew their pent-up hatred on the world every time crisis rears its ugly head, it is truly a blessing, if blessing does exist, to witness the triumph of rationality.

Great to see them speaking about the possibility of peace. Watch Elik's father, Rami Elhanan and others in the intro video on our page

As a Native American we can also RELATE to the ongoing strugle over real esate in our land of the Americas.

That is why this is soo moving for me.

We have the Trail of Broken Treaties and The Wounded Knee Incodent of the 1970's ..as well as the ongoing real estate issues of today.

True PEACE is possible.

[AdawehiMeliLayton]

I LOVE this video Because it promotes True PEACE.

It is something as myself a Native American and my beliefs in Native American Religion also promote.

True PEACE.

Thanks for putting out this video!
