A New Palestinian Movement: Young, Networked, Nonviolent
“The goal is to liberate the minds of our people,” says Najwan Berekdar, an Israeli-born Arab who is a women’s-rights activist. “We want to get past all the old identities—Fatah, Hamas, religious, secular, Israeli and Palestinian Arab —and create a mass nonviolent movement.” Berekdar has touched on an idea that might prove truly threatening to Israelis: a “one state” movement uniting Palestinians on both sides of the current border.
