DESCRIPTION:Hamze and Itzik are engaging speakers with deep knowledge and passion about 
 Palestine and Israel, both the conflicts and the tools it takes to overcome 
 decades of mutual trauma. Their raw and honest conversation will explain 
 the factual realities on the ground and will discuss the actual people who 
 are living in the land. Through their dialogue, they are helping to expand 
 awareness and hope as the world shifts from constant war to collective 
 liberation.\n\nSpeakers:\nHamze Awawde is a Palestinian peace activist and 
 conflict resolution expert who lived and worked in Ramallah until October 
 7th. He holds a master's degree in Global Community Development from the 
 Hebrew University and a business degree from Birzeit University. His family 
 was directly affected by the Nakba and was strongly involved in the 
 Palestinian national movement, during which his grandfather was killed. 
 This history showed Hamze the need to break the cycle of bloodshed and seek 
 joint liberation and a shared future. Since October 2023, Hamze has 
 intensified efforts in collaboration with Palestinian and Israeli peace 
 activists, calling for a cessation of violence, equality, creating hope, 
 and fostering spaces for dialogue.\n\nItzik Goldberger is the managing 
 partner of Aviv Partners, a management consulting firm. He supports 
 nonprofits that work toward peace-building between Israelis and 
 Palestinians. He is a founding member of UnXeptable (which advocates 
 against the judicial overhaul in Israel and for hostage release),  a 
 JStreet member of the San Francisco Area Executive Committee, and DAC for 
 district 10 (Marc Desaulnier). He is also a mentor in the Palestinian 
 Mentorship Program. He calls for ceasefire, standing up against extremism, 
 and for a democratic vision that includes Palestinian rights.\n\n
