RE:
RECOMMENDATION OF PROF. ADA AHARONI FOR THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE
My name is Leo Semashko. I am a Doctor of Philosophy
and a Sociologist from
Russia; as well as the Universal Peace Ambassador and State Councilor for St.
Petersburg; Director of Tetra Sociological Institute, and IFLAC
Russia; Founder and President of the International Website "A New Culture
of Peace from Social Harmony and Children’s Priority" (www.peacefromharmony.org),
which
unites more than 150 authors from 28 countries, and is
published in 12 languages: English, Esperanto, Russian, Spanish, French,
Greek, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, Arabic and Hebrew.
In my name and on behalf of 150 authors of our site, I want to
recommend ADA AHARONI for the Nobel Peace Prize 2007. Ada Aharoni is a peace
researcher, a Professor of Conflict Resolution, and the Founder and
President of the “International Forum for the
Literature and Culture of Peace” (IFLAC) since
1999; Universal Peace Ambassador; and World Symbol of
Harmonious Peace Culture of our site. She is also an international famous peace
poet and writer, whose works have been highly acclaimed worldwide, and
translated into seventeen languages. She devoted her life to the promotion of
Peace on Earth, through bridges of culture among people and nations.
Among
her many impressive peace enterprises and projects, she is the founder and
President of “The Bridge: Jewish and Arab Women for Peace in the Middle East,”
since 1978, and has organized influential world congresses and projects for the
promotion of peace through women. One of their very impressive achievements is
the LLP organization: “Leave Lebanon in Peace Campaign” of “The Four Mothers,”
that succeeded after great efforts of most of the mothers and women in Israel,
to bring to the retreat of their sons, the Israeli troops from Lebanon, in the
year 2000.
“The
Bridge” joined IFLAC in 1999, and is now the “Women for Peace” wing of this
prestigious organization. Ada Aharoni
chaired and organized 5 powerful IFLAC congresses: in the Galilee in Israel -
1999, Sydney Australia - 2001, London England - 2003, Bursa Turkey - 2004, and
Los Angeles US - 2005. IFLAC PAVE PEACE has now regional branches in 21
countries around the world, with a scope of more hundreds of people and
organizations, that receive and read its daily IFLAC Digest, and promote
the ideas of the necessity of an urgent and revolutionary “New Peace Culture”
in the Middle East and worldwide.
The birth of the International site
"Peace from Harmony" in February 2005, is inspired by and
obliged to Ada Aharoni.
We are united by the concept of harmony and by the
concepts of "a new culture of peace" which are offered by Ada Aharoni
throughout her creative research, the writing and publishing of her twenty five
books (www.amazon.com ), and her founding and authoring of the important
daily Peace Culture “IFLAC Digest”, that is widely globally, through the
Internet.
The
deep sense of Ada Aharoni’s philosophy of peace and her conceptual framework is
that they define a new kind of active and revolutionary “Culture
of Peace” which prevents and excludes wars and violence.
This distinguishes it from concepts of traditional peace, in which peace
is just a momentary absence of war, and does not prevent future wars. Such conceptions are usually only a break
between wars or the preparation for them. Ada has created an active antithesis
to such passive peace conceptions, with her theory of an active and constant
“Harmonious New Peace Culture”; it is regarded as a perpetual “flowing river”
of peace values, concepts, education, and a peace media, that surpasses passive
traditional peace theories. Hers is a modern, active, cultural interpretation
of the old theses of universal peace of the 16th to the 20th centuries, as
found in the works of Erasmus Rotterdam, William Penn, Jean Jack Russo,
Immanuel Kant, Leo Tolstoy, Mahatma Gandhi, Albert Einstein, and many
other great thinkers.
Ada
Aharoni is today an outstanding and active innovative follower of this
peaceful tradition of mankind. The prominent features of her peacemaking are
the possibility of a widely spread use of “Bridges of Peace Culture” for the
promotion of understanding among nations, through global TV Peace Satellites,
projecting: peace films, drama, poetry, literature, art and communication, and
the wide use of the Internet and modern technology as well as a peace media to
also spread the new peace culture. She
regards the urgent necessity of creating a new, harmonious global peace
culture, as the ultimate vehicle that can create a safe and better world beyond
wars and violence.
I am sure that Ada Aharoni is one of the most
worthy candidates for the Nobel Peace Prize 2007, and I highly recommend her.

Aharoni, you are invited to visit her peace sites at: www.iflac.com

Dear Leo, Thank you for your beautiful tribute to Ada Aharoni. It
cannot have
come at a more appropriate time, when the whole world weeps for
the devastation
that is erupting everywhere, but especially in the Middle East,
where the peace
process is derailed all over again by terrorists and nationalists
who spew
their hatred without regard for those who are innocent. How is it
possible for
us to forget that, when the boat sinks, we all go down? We are
all part of the
human family; the warring factions worship the same God!

Congratulations for this initiative. I do not know Ada
personally, and even less his course.
This indicated, which it does with the head of IFLAC and praises
that I read on it, make me subscribe to your demande.Malgre its concern and the
disappearance of her husband it did not slacken its efforts for peace. It is
admirable! I myself am annoyed by family concern which disturbs my activities,
from where, my comprehension of the efforts of Ada and my admiration.
Cordially.
