Ezra Itzhak Nawi ((ヘブライ語:עזרא יצחק נאווי); born 1952) is an Israeli human rights activist and pacifist. He is particularly active among the Bedouin herders and farmers of the South Hebron Hills〔 and against the Israeli illegal settlements.〔 He has been described as a "Ta'ayush nudnik", and "a working-class, liberal gay version of Joe the Plumber".〔: '"Ezra Nawi describes himself as "a human rights activist, gay, a Mizrahi Jew who also manages to screw the state. They just don't know how to deal with me".'〕 His critics regard him as an extreme leftist activist and troublemaker.〔〔 He has been charged for numerous infractions of the law, convicted for a number of offences, and served several short stints in prison as a consequence of his activism. According to David Shulman, he is an Israeli exponent of Gandhian civil disobedience.〔:Shulman, when asked to define what he meant in calling Nawi an exponent of non-violent protest, replied: "I mean the tradition of Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Henry David Thoreau".〕〔 He came to international attention after being convicted in 2007 of participating in a riot and assaulting two police officers in connection with the demolition of Bedouin homes in the West Bank by Israeli border policemen. In 2008, Nissim Mossek produced a film on his life, private and public, which has had mixed reviews. ==Early life== Nawi was born in Jerusalem,〔〔 〕 one of five siblings, to a Mizrahi Iraqi family originally from Basra, which had made aliyah from Kurdistan shortly before his birth.〔〔〔:'I'm Mizrahi (Jew whose family immigrated to Israel from the Arab world ).'〕〔:"El israelí Ezra Nawi, .. nació en Jerusalén en 1952, poco después de que sus padres emigrasen desde el Kurdistán iraquí,.."〕 His mother bore him when she was 14 years of age. He was raised by a grandmother who spoke to him in Iraqi Arabic, an accent he still retains.〔.〕 When Nawi was a teenager, they lived next door to Reuven Kaminer, a leading figure in Israel’s Communist Party, and Kaminer, he has reminisced, influenced his activism.〔 In his spell as a conscript in the IDF, he served in a combat engineering unit. After the 1973 Yom Kippur war, where his duties included laying mines along the Suez Canal, he went abroad, travelling widely in the US and Europe, and spending some time in both the UK and Ireland.〔.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ezra Nawi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
