War leaves scars that last generations—but what if the path to peace starts with sitting down with your enemy? Three military veterans, including Israeli anti-war activist Yair Bunzel, are sharing powerful lessons from the frontlines. 💥 Their message? "War solves nothing."
From Battlefields to Peace Talks
Bunzel, who served in Israel's 1982 Lebanon War, reflects on the human cost of conflict: "Every dead, injured, or traumatized person damages generations." Alongside American veterans of Iraq and Vietnam, he now advocates for dialogue over destruction. 🕊️
A Call to 'Shut Down the Fire'
Despite decades of violence in Israel and Palestine, Bunzel remains hopeful: "You have to sit with your enemy and search for a solution… Putting down the fire is the only way." His words echo a growing global movement prioritizing empathy in conflict resolution. ✨
Could this veteran-led push inspire a new era of diplomacy? For young activists worldwide, their stories are a rallying cry: peace begins with conversation. 💬
