Palestine Israel Nonviolence

Upon discussing the Palestine Israel conflict, it is often viewed as very violent. The media tends to cover much of the violence; terrorists, bombing, sometimes hatred. It is safe to say, however, that nonviolence and nonviolent action is not inexistent. Like many nonviolent movements in the past, there have been and currently are nonviolent marches, protests, strikes, and boycotts. On top of these actions, groups such as the Middle East Nonviolent Democracy exist, whose main goal is to educate and offer nonviolent training to youth. These strategies or tactics have proved to be successful in the past, and the fact that they are present during this conflict gives them a chance to resolve this conflict.
