SUMMARY:Rebuilding Hope in a Time of Trauma: Motivating Joint Actions
DESCRIPTION:Hamze and Itzik are engaging speakers with deep knowledge and p
 assion about Palestine and Israel\, both the conflicts and the tools it ta
 kes to overcome decades of mutual trauma. Their raw and honest conversatio
 n will explain the factual realities on the ground and will discuss the ac
 tual people who are living in the land. Through their dialogue\, they are 
 helping to expand awareness and hope as the world shifts from constant war
  to collective liberation.\n\nSpeakers:\nHamze Awawde is a Palestinian pea
 ce activist and conflict resolution expert who lived and worked in Ramalla
 h until October 7th. He holds a master's degree in Global Community Develo
 pment from the Hebrew University and a business degree from Birzeit Univer
 sity. His family was directly affected by the Nakba and was strongly invol
 ved in the Palestinian national movement\, during which his grandfather wa
 s killed. This history showed Hamze the need to break the cycle of bloodsh
 ed and seek joint liberation and a shared future. Since October 2023\, Ham
 ze has intensified efforts in collaboration with Palestinian and Israeli p
 eace activists\, calling for a cessation of violence\, equality\, creating
  hope\, and fostering spaces for dialogue.\n\nItzik Goldberger is the mana
 ging partner of Aviv Partners\, a management consulting firm. He supports 
 nonprofits that work toward peace-building between Israelis and Palestinia
 ns. He is a founding member of UnXeptable (which advocates against the jud
 icial overhaul in Israel and for hostage release)\,  a JStreet member of 
 the San Francisco Area Executive Committee\, and DAC for district 10 (Marc
  Desaulnier). He is also a mentor in the Palestinian Mentorship Program. H
 e calls for ceasefire\, standing up against extremism\, and for a democrat
