*****************************

Israel and Palestine make headline news regularly, with reports of peace talks, negotiations, UN resolutions, and US foreign policy debates. But what does it really take to have justice, peace, and security in the Holy Land? What does justice look like —in the everyday life of the Palestinian people living under occupation? What does security look like for the Israeli citizen concerned about terrorist bombings? How does one know when real and lasting peace has been achieved?

The last film to be screened as part of the Voices from the Holy Land Film Series is Home Front: Portraits from Sheik Jarrah.  Following the screening, the panelists will share their knowledge of the Israel-Palestine situation, provide their own perspectives, and respond to audience questions and comments. What can the Palestinians do to ensure justice and peace and security? What can the Israelis do? How can America and Americans best support the people of the Holy Land? What is the role of Churches in walking this path? What can each of us do as an individual?

Please come and listen.  Please come share and participate. 

Leave with a desire to be an active witness for justice and peace in the Holy Land.
