2017 Satellite Ceremony Events

[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he Israeli-Palestinian Memorial Day ceremony comes to remind us that war is not an act of fate but one of human choice.

Thousands of Israelis and Palestinians participate every year in this special event in Tel-Aviv produced and led by Combatants for Peace with the collaboration of the Parents Circle. We invited Americans to mark this important day with us in their communities, by acknowledging the loss of life on both sides and to say that memorializing is not enough — we must act to end the circle of violence.

Communities around the world held satellite Memorial Day Ceremony events to stand in solidarity with Israelis and Palestinians who are seeking peace together:
