The valedictory Session of the International Online Fellowship Program on Nonviolence and Peace organized by Sevagram Ashram Pratishthan in association with Gandhi International,France; Academic University College for Non-Violence Lebanon;MGM University Aurangabad; International Centre for Non-violence ,Durban University of Technology, Portland Community College, Oregon will be held  on January 30, 2025. The program was commenced on October 2, 2024. The Library and Research Centre of Sevagram Ashram Pratishthan is instrumental in coordinating the program.

 About the Speaker 

Kathy Kelly, co-coordinates Voices for Creative Nonviolence, (www.vcnv.org) a campaign to end U.S. military and economic warfare.

During each of several recent trips to Afghanistan, Kathy Kelly, as an invited guest of the Afghan Peace Volunteers, has lived alongside ordinary Afghan people in a working class neighborhood in Kabul. She and her companions in Voices for Creative Nonviolence believe that “where you stand determines what you see.”

They are resolved not to let war sever the bonds of friendship between them and Afghan people whom they’ve grown to know through successive delegations. Kelly and her companions insist that the U.S. is not waging a “humanitarian war” in Afghanistan.

Kelly has also joined with activists in various regions of the country to protest drone warfare by holding demonstrations outside of U.S. military bases in Nevada, upstate New York, Iowa, Missouri, Michigan, and Wisconsin.

During late June and early July of 2011, Kelly was a passenger on the “Audacity to Hope” as part of the US Boat to Gaza project. She also attempted to reach Gaza by flying from Athens to Tel Aviv, as part of the Welcome to Palestine effort, but the Israeli government deported her back to Greece.

In 2009, she lived in Gaza during the final days of the Operation Cast Lead bombing; later that year, Voices formed another small delegation to visit Pakistan, aiming to learn more about the effects of U.S. drone warfare on the civilian population and to better understand consequences of U.S. foreign policy in Pakistan. She returned again to Gaza in November 2012 to meet with the survivors of Israel’s Operation Pillar of Defense and to hear their stories.

From 1996 – 2003, Voices activists formed 70 delegations that openly defied economic sanctions by bringing medicines to children and families in Iraq. Kathy and her companions lived in Baghdad throughout the 2003 “Shock and Awe” bombing.

She was sentenced to one year in federal prison for planting corn on nuclear missile silo sites (1988-89) and spent three months in prison, in 2004, for crossing the line at Fort Benning’s military training school. As a war tax refuser, she has refused payment of all forms of federal income tax since 1980.

She and her companions at the Voices home/office in Chicago believe that non-violence necessarily involves simplicity, service, sharing of resources and non-violent direct action in resistance to war and oppression.

 IFPNP International Dialogue - 

Ethics of  Reconciliation

By

 Outline of Presentation 

Ethics of Reconciliation

Recollecting the origin of some allegories and symbols of reconciliation (white dove, olive twig, rainbow), we will study a few examples of art commemorating Reconciliation (Hiroshima, Berlin, Coventry, The Hague).

Afterwards we will compare the word "reconciliation" in various languages with different connotations. These distinctions, relevant for the rule of law, will shed some light on religious myths connected with atonement, expiation, forgiveness, penance, propitiation and repentance. We will choose one or two ancient mythologisms to understand the sacrificial mechanism behind the reconciliatory process.

Gandhi's aspiration throughout his life was nonviolent, peaceful reconciliation. We shed some light on mediators on his side who supported his work of reconciliation, e. g. Charles Freer Andrews or Tej Bahadur Sapru.

It is significant that historical peace organisations chose reconciliation as their motto (e. g. the International Fellowship of Reconciliation). In Germany, for example, there are youth organisations like "Action Reconciliation Service for Peace" or the "Franco-German Youth Office" and the "German-Polish Youth Office" drawing lessons after two world wars. There are even two new research centres for Reconciliation Studies at Bonn and Jena.

The United Nations' 2024 "Pact for the Future" with the "Declaration on Future Generations" - https://www.un.org/sites/un2.un.org/files/sotf-pact_for_the_future_adopted.pdf - is highlighting dialogue, mediation and reconciliation.

The Psychology of War and  Peace in Palestine

The Palestine Exception tells the story of the fierce battle for academic freedom as campus administrators crack down on protesters

Logline

As Israel’s war on Gaza intensified, students and faculty across the US mobilized for justice in Palestine. Often mocked and accused of antisemitism, they defied escalating waves of repression and censorship. The film aims to embolden those who refuse to be silenced by this new era of McCarthyism

Synopsis

The production of The Palestine Exception is itself a response to this crucial moment in history. Across the world we’ve seen the largest anti-war protests since the 1970s with people of all backgrounds calling for an end to Israeli occupation and Palestinian suffering. In the US, these calls have been met with widespread and often violent repression. Professors speaking up about Palestine have been under threat of losing their jobs for decades, but it came into full view after October 7th.

University presidents were grilled by right-wing members of Congress and pressured to resign. As Israel killed tens of thousands of Gazans with US-made bombs, destroying schools, homes, hospitals, and mosques in the process, the US Congress and university administrators accused activists of anti-semitism and called for increased policing of protests. Set against this repression are rulings by the UN International Court of Justice on Israel’s campaign of genocide and its history of ethnic cleansing and other war crimes.

For large portions of the American population, especially younger generations, the injustices in Palestine were undeniable and the genocide in Gaza intolerable. In this politically charged context, the Palestine exception to academic freedom and free speech takes center stage, at once more vulnerable and more harshly enforced than ever before.

This new era of anti-war activism revisits tactics and memories of earlier periods of campus politics, from protests against the Vietnam War, the Black Power, gay rights and feminist movements, to the boycott campaign against South Africa and apartheid. Drawing on scholars Ellen Schrecker and Saree Makdisi for history and context, the film features four activist academics (Ted Khoury, Sophie Smith, Jennifer Gaboury, Premilla Nadasen) and how the personal became political in this critical year of the movement.

I am not worried about the thousands of poor and needy people.
What really worries me is the many rich people who are not interested or care about those who worked and made us rich and who need us today. Because this can be called ingratitude or iniquity.
I am worried that revolutions are made in the name of justice, when Justice is "Giving everyone what they need" without making revolutions.
