Iran Feature: Why Peace Activists Should Take an Interest in the Green Movement (Postel/Hashemi)
Danny Postel and Nader Hashemi write for The Fellowship of Reconciliation:
We are peace activists and supporters of the Green movement in Iran. We adamantly oppose any military attack on Iran, and we stand in solidarity with the democratic struggle in Iran. We see these positions as inextricably linked, as forming a consistent position based on the principles of peace, social justice, and human rights. But there’s a lot of confusion about this in the peace movement. We offer the following food for thought in hopes of clarifying some of the issues at hand and encouraging peace activists to learn more about the Green movement.
