(Hebrew for “Peace Bloc”) Founded in 1993, Gush Shalom is an Israeli peace movement that formed out of protests against the Israeli government’s expulsion of 415 Islamic/Palestinian activists in late 1992. An action and education-oriented movement, its stated central goal is to guide Israeli public opinion towards peace and conciliation with the Palestinian people.
