**Iyad Burnat**, born in 1973 in Bil`in, Palestine, heads the Bil’in Popular Committee. Since 2005, citizens of Bil’in, joined by Israeli and international peace activists, have held weekly non-violent demonstrations against the Israeli separation wall and the encroachment of illegal settlements. The protesters have maintained a commitment to non-violent resistance in the face of armed military opposition. The demonstrations are the subject of the 2012 Oscar-nominated documentary film 5 _Broken Cameras_, which was made by Iyad’s brother, Emad Burnat. Burnat discusses strategies for non-violent popular resistance with social justice activist **Trina Jackson**. How has he brought potential adversaries to share his goal of peace and prosperity for all people? _Co-sponsored by Don and Jeannette McInnes and by Unitarian Universalists for Justice in the Middle East – Massachusetts Chapter; Alliance for a Secular and Democratic South Asia; Boston Coalition for Palestinian Rights; Jewish Voice for Peace – Boston; Jewish Women for Justice in Israel- Palestine; Palestinian House of New England; and United for Justice With Peace._ (Photo: [Palestine Solidarity Project](https://www.flickr.com/photos/palestineproject/6132937953/in/photolist-akWUMx-oyqttW-8zEHS-akWR2P-akZCus-akZFq9-86A7y8-87j6Wb-oAdMka-oBXQiv-ozW6De-a6o6XX-ofnsVE-5Tvj15-7VG5He-5TgNWP-oPdVFo-86D9Tm-86A67T-oyxUYE-ohvuFf-oSCpu-86A4Br-6rM8c-5Tm81E-65KCx6-4eyXB-oytHSB-cUYFUN-5TwDtJ-88KEYz-owJgBY-oroxcS-oru1iE-86A9jz-5TwDww-qJzaCh-86Ab1z-r23QTJ-r1YAZZ-5S3qAU-86A3Ar-86DdiE-86A1fe-86zYWZ-e6MFHq-e6G2zB-e6G2Ac-e6MFCu-e6MFob ""))
