  Peace Now - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first Intifada (1987-1993) was perceived by Peace Now as a political act, therefore the movement called for negotiations to be held with the Palestinians, aimed at putting an end to what the movement perceives as forced occupation of the West Bank (also known as Judea and Samaria) and Gaza.

 The Peace Encyclopedia: Peace, Peace Treaty
It is now widely seen that peace should be more than the mere absence of war: it should be a positive force that counters violence as a means of resolving the problems of human society.
Thus, peace studies must seek practical means of creating a society without such structural violence, while the goal of peace education should be contributing to the establishment of such a society.
Peace education, then, is directly tied to human rights education aimed at eliminating all forms of prejudice including that against the traditional outcast class in Japan.

 Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | Najaf deal brings peace - for now
A five-point peace plan was hammered out late on Thursday in dramatic circumstances by the country's senior Shia cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, and the radical cleric, Mr Sadr.
Iraq's senior cleric has for now seen off the most serious challenge to his authority from the young Mr Sadr, who lacks the ayatollah's religious standing but whose populist anti-American agenda has won support from the young Shia poor.
But by the time of the peace deal, many fighters - most of whom were not from Najaf - had left the holy city and returned to their homes in Baghdad and the south, taking their weapons with them.

Not one "peace" group of the left sponsored a petition against terror, or asked for an International convention on terror.

 Israel news and commentary from IsraPundit   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The flyer for the program at the White Plains, New York Community Unitarian Church and WESPAC Peace and Justice Foundation Middle East Committee said “Positive Developments in the Palestine Nonviolent Resistance Movement.” The presenters were self-styled Israeli Anarchist Jonathon Pollak, who sported a prominent tattoo on most of his left forearm.
He was accompanied by a mustachioed Ayed Morrar, ex-Fatah fighter now posing as a promoter of “non-violence.” Nothing in this flyer mentioned convictions for crimes in Israel and the occupied territories by both speakers, especially ignoring Morrar’s more than six years in prison for terror activities.
Morrar is now airbrushed as the hero who organized the “successful” protests against the security barrier in his home village of Budrus on the West Bank as the strategy of this “national tour” is to wrap the ISM in the moral cloak of the churches in which they speak.
