Activism
BearbeitenDolev began working for Greenpeace in Israel in 2007 and served as Office Director of Greenpeace Mediterranean till ??.[2]
In October 2022, she was elected to the Council of the International Peace Bureau (IPB) for her advocacy of eradicating "nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction from the Middle East through innovative policy, education, advocacy and activism."[3]
Israeli disarmament movement
BearbeitenDolev is the founder of the Israeli Disarmament Movement,[4] a constituent member of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons.[5] Critics of her work have asked her "not to speak," because they think her work "is putting Israel in danger." She was asked, "What is it like to be a woman and do this work, especially in the Middle East and in such a militaristic Israeli culture?" She replied, "I am taking part in various meetings ... . It takes time until my position is even considered a legit one to talk about. This is both because I am a woman and because I am talking about the impossible. My biggest frustration is organizing panels that I myself would boycott because there is no representation for women. This frustration always exists. When will I stop being a woman and start being someone who talks about nuclear weapons?"[4]
In 2010, the Palestine-Israel Journal featured an article by Dolev on "Creating an Anti-Nuclear Movement in Israel". This article describes "a new Israeli grassroots anti-nuclear movement" and a series of events they organized in Israel on this topic. However, this 2010 article did not provide a name for this movement.[6]
In 2016 the Israeli Disarmament Movement and 100 citizens of Israel petitioned Israel's High Court of Justice "to compel the secretive Israel Atomic Energy Commission (IAEC) to become more transparent through broad Knesset legislation." The Jerusalem Post quoted Dolev as having said, "The ambiguity typifying the work of the Israel Atomic Energy Commission has become dangerous in itself for Israeli citizens." The petitioners included Avner Cohen, a leading expert on Israel's nuclear program. He said that the petitioners had been working on this for roughly a year and filed it "only weeks after" numerous reports appeared in the press "that the reactor southeast of Dimona has 1,537 cracks." The petitioners agreed that some secrecy was required, but the IAEC should nevertheless be subject to some oversight by the Knesset.[7]
In 2017 IDM - as part of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) was awarded the nobel Peace Price. In Israel the fact that IDM and Dolev as part of ICAN were awarded the Nobel Prize was barely reported on in national media.[8]
A 12 October 2017 publication by the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs (UNODA) said, 'the Permanent Mission of Ireland to the United Nations, in conjunction with the British American Security Information Council (BASIC), hosted a panel discussion entitled, “A Draft Treaty for a WMD Free Zone in the Middle East: Time to Envisage the Practical.” The speakers included ... Sharon Dolev of BASIC in Israel and founder/director of the Israeli Disarmament Movement (IDM)".[9]
The Middle East Treaty Organization (METO)
BearbeitenIn 2017 Dolev co founded The Middle East Treaty Organization (METO) and since serves as Executive Director to the organisation. According to METO´s website the NGO works as "a coalition of civil society activists and practitioners seeking to rid the Middle East from all weapons of mass destruction as a gateway toward regional security and peace."[10] METO works on policy, advocacy and educational programs.
