MLK Saratoga is partnering with Skidmore College to welcome and host a conversation with two members of Combatants for Peace (CfP), an organization founded by former Israeli and Palestinian combatants who, after fearing, hating, and doing harm to the other, decided violence was no longer an option.  Founded 18 years ago, this organization has grown, and its mission is to work toward peaceful resolution of conflict and liberation for all Palestinian and Israeli people.
