Three activists for Palestine are being nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize this year, all three close friends of Indiana Center for Middle East Peace.
Mazin Qumsiyeh has been nominated by Nobel Laureate Mairead Corrigan Maguire.
Issa Amro and Jeff Halper are being jointly nominated by Ingrid Fiskaa of the Socialist Left Party in the Norwegian Parliament.
Issa Amro is a Hebron-based Palestinian activist committed to non-violent resistance against Israeli genocide. Founder of Youth Against Settlements and Friends of Hebron, he has been harassed, arrested, and tortured on many occasions.
Last year, the New York Times called him "one of the followers of Martin Luther King, Jr.," and the New York Times Magazine called him “the Palestinian Gandhi.”
Last year, Issa was one of the recipients of the Right Livelihood Award (the "alternative Nobel Prize").
Jeff Halper is an Israeli-American anthropologist and political activist. He is the Director of the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions and a co-founder of the Palestinian-led One Democratic State Campaign.
His latest book is: Decolonizing Israel, Liberating Palestine: Zionism, Settler Colonialism, and the Case for One Democratic State.
Jeff was a previous Nobel Peace Prize nominee in 2006 with Palestinian activist Ghassan Andoni.
