    Voices of Peace

    Voices of Peace brings two Arab peace activists from Israel and Gaza for a dialogue in the Netherlands. They will unfold personal stories living with war in Israel and Gaza and their activities for Peace.  

    Soumya Bashir, an Arab-Israeli Muslim, is a mother of five, 4 daughters and a son. Somaya is a social and political activist who served in the Israeli parliament. Among her social-political activities are founding the We Have No Other Country group bringing social partnership between Arabs and Jews in Israel, the Insan Association for the Rights of the Underprivileged Populations, and the coordinator of the Women Rage Peace society. In her activities, Somaya advocates for Arabs as full-fledged Israeli citizens and fights against racism and extremism in Israel.

    Houssam (Sam) Khadra is a Gazan Palestinian, a father of three: two kids in Egypt and a little baby in Paris. Sam is an actor, and a journalist for an Egyptian newspaper reporting from Gaza. Sam started his youth under Hamas education and now is a peace activist preaching against terror and extremism.

    Photographs of Hope from Gaza

    As part of our mission to amplify voices of peace, Inbal Tur Shalom recently connected via WhatsApp with a young woman from Gaza who, despite the immense challenges, believes in the possibility of a future where Gaza and Israel coexist. Her perspective is a testament to resilience and hope, a narrative often overshadowed by conflict.

    Our goal is to share these voices beyond Gaza, highlighting that even in times of hardship, there are individuals striving for peace. This initiative is in its early stages, and given the current circumstances, progress will take time. However, we remain committed to fostering dialogue and understanding, one conversation at a time.
