Palestinian lives matter – Israeli lives matter!
Peace now!
This event offers a space for dialogue between representatives of religions, politicians, Christians, Jews and Muslims.
The organisers are concerned about the population in Gaza, the suffering and the ongoing Israeli campaign of annihilation of Hamas after the 7 October 2023 massacre, which at the same time extinguishes unbearable numbers of Palestinian lives and their livelihoods.
Furthermore, they are convinced that with this policy the question of the innocent hostages held by Hamas will remain unresolved and be exacerbated.
This event aims at reinforcing the institutions – for example, through the recognition of the state of Palestine – but also at emphasizing how the dialogue between the religions and secular society can contribute to a comprehensive peace process.
