KWM Responds To Campus Protests

Four Principles

1. KWM supports the right of campus protestors to non-violently express their views in words and actions.

2. KWM abhors the use of violence and violent rhetoric. The right to free expression comes with the responsibility to honor the dignity of every human being, including one’s enemies.

3. KWM calls on all sides to work toward equal human rights for everyone in Israel-Palestine (Jew, Muslim, Palestinian, Christian, secular) with attitudes of humility, justice and mercy.

4. KWM believes that civil disobedience within the parameters of the above statements is appropriate as long as demonstrators accept the responsibility for their actions
