Win Win: A Radical Vision for Peace in the Middle East
Listen now
Description
Can you imagine a story that’s big enough to encompass seemingly rival narratives? Can you imagine a peace in the Holy Land that doesn’t require anyone to compromise?   Meet activist and critic, Yehuda HaKohen. He is an outspoken opponent of the two-state solution, Israel’s West Bank barrier, and Jewish cooperation with America’s Christian right. Yehuda lives in an “outpost” in the West Bank, but doesn’t identify as a settler. He’s indigenous, and he’s looking to reach the radicals on the front lines of the conflict. As one of them, he believes that the extremists are the only individuals who will be able to make a lasting peace in the land - not "Westernized officials signing American papers."   While deeply committed to Jewish history and practice, Yehuda believes that being more inclusive brings him closer to the capital T, Truth, and he’s committed to engaging kindly with his Palestinian neighbors. He wants to both deepen and soften what it means to have a Jewish state while creating a model society that offers all of its citizens equal rights. This conversation is a post-colonial, post-Zionist, post-modern approach to the conflict in the Middle East, and it requires an overall shift in our intellectual paradigm. “We need to think differently, reject the limitations, and reimagine one another.” Listen here to learn more.
