Sherif Fam explores the subject of Jewish peace activists in this country and in Israel. To outside observers, Jewish communities around the world appear monolithic in their blind support of everything Israel does, but that is not true. There are many brave Jews in this country and around the world, including Israel, who regularly protest against Israel’s egregious violations of human rights and international law, and are working hard to find a just solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Many Jews have visited Israel and Palestine and were transformed by what they saw. One such person is Dr. Alice Rothchild.

This program was produced by This Week In Palestine for WZBC radio on May 20, 2007.
