The Wall Between

The authors of this groundbreaking book speak to each other about how Jews and Palestinians speak (and listen) differently to each other. The “wall” they refer to is one not only of concrete, but distrust, enmity, and hate, fueling the breakdown of civil discourse in public spaces around the world. 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. In this nuanced and courageous pre-recorded event, available throughout the Festival, Raja G. Khouri and Jeffrey Wilkinson begin an essential conversation for us all.
