The late peace activist Yossi Amitay spoke of a Japanese proverb about conviction in isolation, which he used to describe the persistence of peacemakers despite political marginalization: 'He who is right in the face of all his opponents is a majority of one'
I had the honor of participating last week in a gathering in memory of the researcher and peace activist Dr. Yossi Amitay, who died a year ago. The event took place as part of a study day organized by the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev's Middle East Studies Department.
