Abstract
Violence, says Betty Reardon, is the core problematic for our times, and ‘there may be no more significant responsibility and challenge’ than ‘the search of a new paradigm of peace to replacement the present paradigm of war’ (Reardon 2015, p. 110).

B’tselem executive director Hagai El-Ad wrote to UN Secretary General António Guterres sharing the names of the victims (publicized in this campaign) and condemning ‘the 35 Palestinians killed and 1,500 injured by live ammunition … the predictable outcome of the manifestly illegal rules of engagement implemented during the demonstrations, of ordering soldiers to use lethal gunfire against unarmed demonstrators who pose no mortal danger. These orders are unlawful under both international law and Israeli law. Responsibility for these fatal outcomes rests with the policy makers and – above all – with Israel’s prime minister, defense minister and chief of staff.’ El-Ad called for the UN to ‘do all in its power – and its responsibility – in order to protect Palestinian lives and uphold international norms.’
As a result, according Israel Hayom, Israel’s ‘national service program suspend[ed] the organization’s eligibility for volunteers, saying campaign violated the law’. (Altman and Israel Hayom Staff, 2018; ‘Rights group B’Tselem loses volunteers after calling for IDF insubordination’.

Gaza sends messages of peace to Israelis
We want freedom
We want peace
We want to live in safety
We want to lift the siege
We want justice and democracy
We want to live equally
We want to live in dignity
The right to travel and travel
Right to treatment
Right to education

One of the commentators, Rachel Ben-Shitrit, attempted to translate the clip (from Arabic to Hebrew):
‘I’ll try to translate.
The first woman to speak: the message is a message of peace.
We came here to the border and flew 150 pigeons to send a message to the world and to Israel. We are teenagers with no connection to a political party, sending a message of peace and love. We don’t want wars, we don’t want people to be killed, we don’t want blood. We want to go back to our country through justice.
The second woman: the pigeons represent peace, and so we want to send a message to the other side via these pigeons that people in Gaza are a democratic people, seeking freedom and peace. We want to live in freedom like the rest of the Arab nations.
- sorry for my inaccuracies, my Arabic is not fluent. But I tried as well as I could.’ [Researcher’s translation, from Hebrew to English.]
