Meta Peace Team

Meta Peace Team "Pursuing peace through active nonviolence" META PEACE TEAM (MPT) empowers people to engage in active nonviolent peacemaking. and abroad.

MPT was started in 1993 as Michigan Peace Team, in response to the growing need for civilian peace-makers both in the U.S. Since that time, we have moved far beyond (in the Greek, Meta) the borders of Michigan. MPT offers nonviolence training workshops and provide opportunities to join peace teams locally, nationally, and internationally. We seek a just world grounded in nonviolence and respect fo

r the sacred interconnectedness of all life. Everyone is invited to be a part this important work: Volunteer at one of our offices, take our skills trainings, join our peace teams, schedule a presentation, and/or make a donation. One person CAN make a difference!

The small community of Charlotte, MI should be so proud! MPT was honored to have been invited to offer a training there, and then to be at their "No Kings" rally yesterday, with newly trained peacemakers. We all witnessed their community come out in huge numbers for a great expression of solidarity. Well done, Charlotte!

The more time we spend in the Southern hills it starts to feel like a struggle between caves and cranes. Between tents and internet towers. Between two different kinds of developments. One of self-determination, autonomous-cooperative communities, and listening to the land, and the other built on subjugation, apartheid, and imperialist development.

Since we have been on the ground, our team of four has been split in half, serving at two very different sites, experiencing different faces of the same genocide. Two have been in Masafer Yatta, the South Hebron Hills, staying with families who are under daily threat of expulsion, forced removal, and vicious attacks by illegal Israeli settlers. That team sleeps in tents, simple one room houses, or caves at night and keeps watch over the hills by day, looking out for possible attacks or theft of livestock.

The other two have been assigned to Al Khalil, the city of Hebron, where we have been asked to monitor checkpoints and be present during the weekly settler incursions into the city. This team has also been asked to participate in some of the ongoing month-long olive harvest, traveling to various locations around the West Bank where villages are organizing large group harvests in order to support families who are vulnerable to attacks (which is pretty much everybody now).

There is, though, another word I hear quite often here that could be spelled "kool yom," or "everyday." On a handful of occasions someone will show you a video of settlers, in Arabic "mustawtan", harassing, attacking, and terrorizing their family home and after three or four videos simply say "everyday…”

“They want to make us all leave,” he responded. “They want to make it so unbearable for us here that we choose to leave, so they can take all the land for themselves.”
