Living Nonviolence Youth Programs in the Palestinian Territories
In the summers of 2007 and 2008 Love Thy Neighbor held week long summer programs for Palestinian youth aged 10-11 and 16-18 to introduce them to living nonviolently. These programs which include dancing, music, crafts are focused on Dr. Martin Luther King’s principles of nonviolent living. Undergirding this philosophy was the belief that there are no enemies, we are all part of a beloved community, and nonviolent methods are the way to achieve a lasting peace for Israelis and Palestinians. In the United States Love Thy Neighbor is educating particularly church members to learn more about the wide range of nonviolent activities taking place in the Palestinian Territories.
