The Buddhist Peace Fellowship had a zoom lecture/meeting earlier today which i attended. Three speakers were there:
* Kaza Haga - activist and author of Healing Resistance - a radically different response to harm
* Miki Kashtan - NVC (Nonviolent Communication) trainer and author, who grew up in Israel but left because she felt she was passively supporting the state by being there
* Sami Awad - Palestinian nonviolent activist (new to me)

The main point of discussion was around how we can think about oppressed people using violence to defend themselves (and in relation to this the definition of nonviolence)
