Fellowship of Reconciliation-USA Executive Director Ariel Gold in conversation with Raja G. Khouri and Jeffrey J. Wilkinson, the authors of a groundbreaking book “The Wall Between: What Jews and Palestinians Don’t Want to Know About Each Other” that offers concrete ways for Jews and Palestinians to speak (and listen) differently to each other.
“The Wall Between” is a book about the wall that exists between Jewish and Palestinian communities in the Diaspora. Distrust, enmity, and hate are common currencies. They manifest at university campuses, schools and school boards, at political events, on social media, and in academic circles. For Jews, Israel must exist; for Palestinians, the historic injustice being committed since 1948 must be reversed. Neither wants to know why the other cannot budge on these issues. The wall is up.
The book is both realistic and hopeful — a guide for anyone who is open to new possibilities within the Israel-Palestine discourse in the West.
Since 1918, the Fellowship of Reconciliation has published the award-winning print magazine Fellowship. It is also now online, offering original grassroots analysis, movement research, first-person commentary, poetry and more to help people of faith and conscience build a nonviolent, compassionate world.
Waging Nonviolence partners with other organizations and publishes their work.
Is it possible to purchase the book, The Wall Between through FOR? I listened to the zoom with the 2 authors and purchased 2 books but would like to purchase more (5-6) for the libraries in my county. I do realize the books were published by Olive Branch Press and are also available at Barnes and Noble etc but was wondering if FOR got some $ if purchased through you. Thank you. And thank you for hosting that wonderful zoom meeting with these two authors.
Sincerely,
Gloria Switzer
