“We [Iraq Veterans Against the War] are grateful to have the opportunity to endorse and encourage the efforts of Dialogues Against Militarism… And as an organization, we are deeply proud of the IVAW members involved in this mission of peace, and they and other participants of D.A.M. have our support and gratitude.”
- Board of Directors, Iraq Veterans Against the War
“I am happy to express my support for the Dialogues Against Militarism project. To bring together war resisters from both Israel and Palestine is a dramatic and important act, encouraging more young people to resist war and militarism.”
- Howard Zinn: Historian, Author, and Social Activist / Author of A People’s History of the United States
“For decades now, courageous Israeli youth have been resisting service in occupied Palestine. It’s exciting to see the growing G.I. resistance movement in the United States not only drawing strength from this example, but now creating direct solidarity.”
- Jeff Paterson: Courage to Resist Project Director / First U.S. Service Member to Refuse to Fight in Iraq
“The only way we will see an end to the occupations of Palestine, Iraq, and Afghanistan, is when soldiers refuse to violate international law, and choose to lay down their arms and disobey the illegal orders from their governments. Dialogues Against Militarism deserves all the support we can give it.”
