Dear Friends,
Amos Gvirtz is a Jewish citizen of Israel who has developed an international audience with his "Don't Say We Did Not Know" weekly emails about unpublicized incidents, events, and government actions affecting the Palestinian and Bedouin communities in Israel and Palestine.
 A life-long pacifist and Israeli peace activist, Amos is a longtime member of the International Fellowship of Reconciliation and part of the Negev Coexistence Forum for Social Equality. His newly published book, Don't Say We Did Not Know, addresses the crimes being committed in the name of the State of Israel and the moral questions Israelis must face today.
As part of a North American tour to discuss his book, Amos Gvirtz will appear in Davis and Sacramento, CA on Wednesday, April 22.
In Davis:
Time: 12 noon - 1:30 pm
Place: DeCarli Room on the 2nd floor of Memorial Union at UC Davis
Sponsored by the Students for Justice in Palestine, a chapter of Jewish Voice for Peace.
And that evening in Sacramento:
Time: 6:00
Place: Southside Park Cohousing, behind 440 T Street in Sacramento
Sponsored by Jewish Voice for Peace Sacramento.
For more information, please see the Facebook event page.
All donations go to support the legal costs of the Bedouin Negev village Al-Araqib, demolished 80 times by Israeli police
 Please join me next week at noon at UC Davis or attend the evening event in Sacramento. Both are wonderful opportunities to meet our brother Amos Gvirtz and to discuss the plight of these most vulnerable citizens of Israel as well as the achievements of -- and difficulties faced by -- human rights and peace organizations in Israel that are working nonviolently to prevent their dispossession.
In peace,
 Rev. Kristin Stoneking
Executive Director
Fellowship of Reconciliation
