Nafez Assaily
Nafez Assaily ((アラビア語:نافذ العسيلي)), born in 1956 in the West Bank, in the Old City of Jerusalem 〔Nicoletta Flora, ''Le pietre dell'Intifada,'' Rubbettino, 1995 p.190〕 grew up in Hebron, and is a noted Palestinian peace activist.
== Life and activism ==
Though a Sufi Muslim, he received his early education at Christian schools in Jerusalem, and then began his tertiary studies at An-Najah National University in Nablus, where he majored in English and sociology.〔 There he was impressed, if not wholly convinced, by writers on non-violence as varied as Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King and Martin Buber. A significant moment in his awareness came when he heard a talk given by Mubarak Awad, a Christian Arab, who subsequently founded the Palestinian Center for the Study of Nonviolence in Jerusalem in 1981, which, after his expulsion from Israel in 1988 Awad now directs from abroad, a project on which Nafez collaborated.
It was this talk which convinced Nafez in 1981 that the idea of non-violence was not merely a pipe dream. He has developed his own project of a mobile book-loan service called ‘Library on Wheels for Nonviolence and Peace' (LOWNP) in Hebron in order to encourage reading among the youth of the town, and in particular the study of non-violence.〔Minke De Vries, ''Verso una gratuità feconda. L'avventura ecumenica di Grandchamp,''Paoline, 2008 p.173〕 His peace-campaigning is ecumenical, in that it draws on the writings of Gandhi, the Qur'an, the Torah and the New Testament. He often works to advise Palestinians demonstrating in Jerusalem on how to devise slogans that are less generic, and more in keeping with the realities of their everyday life.〔 Jerry Levin, formerly CNN’s Middle East Bureau Chief before he was taken hostage by Lebanese terrorists, and now member of the Christian Peacemaker Teams in the West Bank, has singled him out as a 'creative Muslim exponent of non-violent activism'.〔Jerry Levin,''West Bank Diary: Middle East Violence as Reported by a Former American Hostage,'' Hope Publishing House, Pasadena, California 2005 p.xx〕
He lost the use of sight in his right eye, following his participation in a protest rally at Al Aqsa mosque in October 1990 to protest the deaths of Palestinians killed there the day before. During the protest he suffered from fumes when a gas canister was fired into the crowd by Israeli police. He developed a severe eye infection, and he attributes his loss of sight to the effects of that particular gas.
