Trained in clinical psychology and crisis management, Braverman worked with groups and individuals undergoing traumatic stress. But while traveling in Israel and Palestine in , Braverman was transformed by witnessing the occupation of Palestine and by encounters with peace activists and civil society leaders from Muslim, Christian and Jewish communities. Braverman, a fifth generation Palestinian Jew, was born in Jerusalem and emigrated to the United States as a young man.
He is co-founder of Friends of Tent of Nations North America, a non-profit dedicated to supporting Palestinian land rights in historic Palestine. He currently serves as executive director for Kairos USA, a movement to unify and mobilize American Christians to take a prophetic stance for a just peace in Israel and Palestine. He has been closely involved in the growth of the international church movement to support the cause of Palestinian rights.
There are military contracts in each state. He believes a two-state solution would be only a transitional step and that getting the Israeli Separation Wall down would bring reconciliation. It took 40 years to get rid of apartheid, he reminded his audience, and advised us to keep at it.
