"I don’t know what I would if I were in [the Palestinians'] shoes, if I experienced the humiliation they do at checkpoints. If you ask me, I think violence won’t lead us anywhere."

Amnon Sadovsky was born and lives in Jerusalem. His interest and experience in social involvement began in high school in the scouts, followed by a year of community service in Tel Mond. Amnon helped found the first non-professional high school in Beit Shemesh and later participated in dialog workshops for Israeli and Palestinian teachers in MECA. After 2000 Amnon joined Ta’ayush’s South Hebron committee and taught at the Hand in Hand Jewish-Arab School in Jerusalem. His various interests connect social, economic and political struggles. Amnon helped found Tarabut-Hithabrut, an Arab-Jewish movement for social and political change, where he continues to be active.
