This post by Naomi Klein, Noam Chomsky and Neve Gordon tells the story of Ezra Nawi.
Every so often someone comes along who is so brave and so inspiring that you just can't sit by and remain silent when you learn they need your help.
And Ezra Nawi is anything but quiet.
He is a Jewish Israeli of Iraqi descent who speaks fluent Arabic.
He is a gay man in his fifties and a plumber by trade.
He has dedicated his life to helping those who are trampled on. He has stood by Jewish single mothers who pitched tents in front of the Knesset while struggling for a living wage, and by Palestinians threatened with expulsion from their homes.
