Ghassan Andoni

Ghassan Andoni ( Arabic غسان أنضوني, DMG Ġassān Anḍūnī ; * 1956 in Beit Sahour ) is a Palestinian physicist and peace activist.

Life

Andoni studied physics at the University of Baghdad and the University of Reading , where he completed his Masters in Physics and Physics Education in 1984. Until 2005 he was lecturer for physics at the University of Bir Zait . Since then he has headed the university's public relations department .

He is a founding member of the International Solidarity Movement (2001) and advocates nonviolent resistance in the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian territories. The American Friends Service Committee and Jeff Halper of the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions proposed Andoni for the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize .

Claudia Haydt from the Militarization Information Center sums up Andoni's idea of an “intelligent resistance” as follows: “There will either be a situation in which both sides lose or one in which both will win. Occupation destroys the rights of the occupied, but it also destroys the occupiers, it destroys their moral ideas, their values, their norms. "
