Launched in 2006, Combatants for Peace (CfP) is a grassroots movement of Palestinians and Israelis, working together to end the occupation and bring sustainable peace, equality, and freedom to their homeland. Committed to joint nonviolence since their inception, these former fighters on both sides of the conflict have been using civil resistance, education, and other creative means of activism to transform systems of oppression and build a free and peaceful future from the ground up.
