Founded by Abie Nathan, the offshore radio "Kol Hashalom" (Voice of Peace) broadcast continually for 20 years – from 1973 to 1993 – from a cargo ship anchored in international waters a few miles off the coast of Tel Aviv, transmitting its message of peace to the Middle East along with music presented by top British DJs.

For over 50 years, Abie Nathan devoted his life to peace in the Middle East. Long before the "age of internet" and its role in revolutionary movements against the powers that be, he understood the power of technology and mass media for spreading his message and reaching his goals.
