Uri Avnery, journalist, activist, writer and peace activist, (http://www.avnery-news.co.il/english) is one of the leading spokespersons for the Israeli peace movement. As a young immigrant to pre-Israel Palestine, Avnery joined the Jewish terrorist underground movement. He fought and was twice wounded and his brother was killed in the 1948 Israeli War of Independence. He later started Israel's best known cutting-edge newsweekly. He was one of the first Israelis to openly meet with the PLO's Yasser Arafat, when such contact was still illegal, and interviewed Arafat in Beirut during Israel's 1982 siege of Lebanon. He later served in the Israeli Parliament, representing a joint Jewish-Arab political party. Avnery has been among the most outspoken advocates of a Two State Solution and for equal rights for Arab citizens of Israel. Avnery is a founder and leader of Gush Shalom, the "Israeli Peace Bloc" (http://www.gush-shalom.org/english). Avnery will visit Santa Cruz as part of a month-long speaking tour to the West Coast organized by the Resource Center for Nonviolence and the American Friends Service Committee in San Francisco.
