Sarah KarajehThe Palestinian people may be boiling, but inside they are very simple and interested in sharing the company of people whom they can trust. The people that engage in dialogue with Israelis are well respected among Palestinians. We aren’t engaged in dialogue with Intelligence officers, we are engaged in dialogue with people who have lost their loved ones, were oppressed and have suffered from the occupation. During the first intifada while finishing her university studies, Sarah Karajeh was imprisoned for five months in Israeli jail for resisting the occupation. Sarah’s husband, a member of the Palestinian Intelligence Service, was killed by the Israeli army during the current intifada. After her husband’s s death, Sarah joined the Bereaved Families Forum, through which she works for understanding between Palestinians and Israelis and for nonviolent resolution to the conflict. Sarah Karajeh is also the director of the Society for Women in Hebron which aims to elevate women's conditions in the city and surrounding rural areas. |
