D.L interviews Kelley Nikondeha, author of First Advent in Palestine about Christian zionism, and how Palestinians view the year 1948 (often called "The Nakba" or "Catasrophe"). Kelley is the author of The First Advent in Palestine: Reversals, Resistance, and the Ongoing Complexities of Hope. You can follow her on Instagram here. Here is a great 4-page sheet outlining what happened in 1948. While John Wayne encouraged Bodie Theone to call it “The Jewish Alamo” Palestinians had another word for that year--Nakba, or “the catastrophe.”  The key has become a symbol of Palestians forced from their homes in 1948 who continue to hope to go home and yet have no rights or protections under which they can do so.  Here are interviews with four Palestinians in the Occupied West Bank. A Keffiyeh is a Palestinian scarf that is full of cultural significance.  Here is both the video and the transcript of Isaac Munther’s sermon “Christ in the rubble” For further reading D.L. recommends Palestine Speaks and Kelley’s book The First Advent in Palestine (make sure you read all her footnotes!) Kelley recommends The Lemon Tree and This is Not a Border. She also recommends following and watching content from PAL fest, the Palestinian Art and literature festival. For Christians, she recommends reading Naim Ateek’s book Justice and Only Justice, and Faith in the Face of Empire by Mitri Raheb.   Sliman Mansour created the image Kelley used for the cover art for her book.
