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, he is a longtime member of the International Fellowship of Reconciliation (he presented a workshop last year at IFOR's Centennial conference in Konstanz, Germany) 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.
Amos will speak in Corvallis, OR on
Thursday April 23, at 7 pm to 8:30 pm at the
Friends Meeting House, 3311 NW Polk St.
All are welcome!
All donations go to support the legal costs of the Bedouin Negev village Al-Araqib, demolished 80 times by Israeli police
Please join FOR and our brother Amos Gvirtz. It will be an opportunity 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.

Peace,
Laurie Childers
