DESCRIPTION:Dan Tsahor is a former Israeli soldier in the Nahal infantry regiment. 
 Tsahor refused to serve in the occupied Palestinian Territory and was 
 imprisoned in 2003. He is a founding member of the new Israeli-Palestinian 
 peace group “Combatants for Peace,” formed by former Palestinian 
 fighters and soldiers from the Israeli army. Cosponsored by the Middle East 
 Working Group and the Middle East Program of the Resource Center for 
 Nonviolence, the Church & Society Commission of the United Methodist 
 Church, the Palestine-Israel Action Committee, and other local groups. 
 A$5-20 sliding-scale donation is asked.   From the "Combatants for Peace" 
 web site:  "We are a group of Israeli and Palestinian individuals who were 
 actively involved in the cycle of violence in our area. The Israelis served 
 as combat soldiers in the Israel Defense Forces and the Palestinians were 
 involved in acts of violence in the name of Palestinian liberation. We all 
 used weapons against one another, and looked at each other only through 
 weapon sights; however today we cooperate and commit ourselves to the 
 following:  • We no longer believe that the conflict can be resolved 
 through violence.  • We believe that the blood shed will not end unless 
 we act together to terminate the occupation and stop all forms of violence. 
  • We call for the establishment of a Palestinian State, alongside the 
 State of Israel. The two states can exist in peace and security beside each 
 other.  • We will use only non-violent means to achieve our goals and 
 call for both societies to end violence."
