Israeli Activist Alon-Lee Green Calls for End to Military Rule Over Palestinians
Alon-Lee Green, head of the Israeli-Palestinian peace group Standing Together, says millions of Palestinians have lived under Israeli military rule for decades. Green calls current military campaigns strategically useless and wants diplomacy instead.
Alon-Lee Green leads Standing Together, a group of Jewish and Palestinian citizens working for peace in Israel. He says 3.5 million Palestinians in the West Bank have lived under Israeli military control for 60 years without being Israeli citizens.
Green argues that ongoing military operations don't work and hurt Israel morally and politically. He wants a new approach based on talks, equal rights, and ending the occupation of Palestinian territories.
Standing Together brings together Jewish and Palestinian activists to push for peace, equality, and climate justice. The group represents a minority view in Israel, where many support military action against Palestinians.
Green has written about wanting peace after Israeli military operations in places like Jenin. He testified to the British Parliament about conditions in the West Bank, where Palestinians live under military rule without voting rights in Israel.
This shows growing voices inside Israel questioning the country's approach to Palestinians. The conflict affects global politics, oil prices, and could spark wider wars that impact everyone.
Watch for more Israeli peace activists speaking out as the conflict continues.
