Wednesday, August 20th, we invite you to join Dry Lands, Deep Courage: Co-Resisting Water Apartheid in the Jordan Valley — a conversation with Palestinian and Israeli CfP activists working together to defend the basic human right to water. This event is part of our summer campaign, Emergency Assistance, Shared Resistance.
🗓 Wednesday, August 20, 2025
⏰ 1:00–2:15 PM ET | 8:00–9:15 PM Jerusalem
📍 Zoom
The conversation will be moderated by Eszter Koranyi, Israeli Executive Director of CfP. You’ll hear from the following speakers:
Elie Avidor – An Israeli engineer and former combatant, now working side-by-side with Palestinian shepherd communities in the Jordan Valley to protect them from settler violence and displacement.
Iris Gur – An Israeli human rights advocate whose journey into peace activism began when her daughter was imprisoned for refusing mandatory military service.
Sayel Jabareen – A Palestinian activist and Campaigns Manager for Combatants for Peace, leading nonviolent initiatives on the ground across the West Bank.
Jamil Qassas – Palestinian General Coordinator of CfP, a refugee whose family was displaced in 1948, and a steadfast leader of nonviolent resistance.
Together, these voices will bring you inside the daily reality of water apartheid, revealing how it shapes life in the Jordan Valley — and how communities are pushing back. They’ll also share clear, actionable ways you can stand in solidarity and advocate for justice for all.
