Partners for Palestine

Susanne Hoder is a Moderator of the Interfaith Peace Initiative and a member of the Divestment Task Force of the United Methodist Church New England Conference. Since visiting Israel and the West Bank in 2004, she has been an advocate for a just peace in the region based on equality, international law, and human rights. She has spoken at numerous conferences and written articles on the situation in the Holy Land. She has compiled research on publicly held companies that support the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land, urging churches and other organizations to withdraw their investments in these companies until Israel complies with international law.

Alicia Koutsoulieris is a long-time member of Amnesty International and is on the Board of Directors for Partners for Palestine, a nonprofit organization based in Orlando, FL. Her first trip to Palestine was in the Spring of 2016 with Eyewitness Palestine where she had the opportunity to meet with organizations and activists on the ground to get a first-hand look at how the occupation affects Palestinian and Israeli daily life.
