Our fellow activist and personal friend Rachel Avnery, wife of Uri, has May 21 passed away succumbing to a longtime illness.

A devoted seeker of Israeli-Palestinian peace, she was a founding member of the Gush Shalom movement, an effective organizer who had a listening ear for all, a joyful personality.

She will be very much missed.

We have opened a special address for condolences: condolences.rachel@gmail.com

Please, respect Uri Avnery's wish not to write to him personally.
