Women from Jewish and Palestinian backgrounds unite in dialogue amid conflict

The response by a group of women in Michigan to the Israel-Hamas war stands in contrast to the protests that have rocked college campuses. An encampment last month at the University of Michigan is just one example of those protests. Not far from that campus, women of Jewish and Palestinian backgrounds are using dialogue to find common ground. Lisa Ling sat in on their candid conversations.

We need more of this. People are influenced by what they see. If they see Israelis and Palestinians trying to get along and make it work, they may try to do the same. This group gives hope. Wish leaders could do that same. "Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, There is a field. I'll meet you there." - Rumi

[@newtowamountainsnature7126]

Blessed are the peacemakers. 🕊 I honestly think that all international stakeholders should create a committee of women (from all religious and ethnic backgrounds) to resolve this crisis. Women often consider factors, overlooked by males, when contemplating solutions.

[@BabyGirlDontEvenPlay]

If women are the ones who take charge and establish authority, it literally invalidates all three religions. Not going to happen.

[@danpakoman]

That sounds very sweet and ideal. However, we are dealing with an Islamic Terrorist Organization, Hamas, which is still the governing body of Gaza. Hamas will never allow women in power. 😢

what about all the jewish people supporting the Palestinian student protestors? They are talking together at these protests. Pro Palestinian has nothing to do with antisemitism

[@mac1291]

Really, so why the calls for intifada, saying resistance by any means necessary, and signs saying keep the world clean with a Jewish star…sorry don’t buy it anymore especially if you were one of those dancing right after Oct 7.

[@jaialaiwarrior]

Anti-zionism means you reject Jewish national rights to self-determination, the political right to lead a government and probably any right on their behalf to land ownership too.

[@AF53501]

Umm....antizionism is antisemitism. If you can't admit that, then there is NOTHING to talk about.

[@olestokke]

@@AF53501That would be like to say that zionism is anti-muslim. Which you could even argue because most palestinians are muslims

[@raeha7796]

In Michigan, we have many groups like this. We have the largest community of people of Middle Eastern descent in the United States. Our Jewish and African American populations are also large. For decades we have been getting to know each other and finding the commonality among us. Is it smooth? Sometimes it is not but, we have learned to listen to each other. I am glad you are showing the diversity of southeast Michigan for the gem that it is.💌

[@BabyGirlDontEvenPlay]

Being from Mid-Michigan, we would like to have our state back. Tired of "international interests" being put before domestic issues.

are you just ignoring all the Jewish people at the protests with the Palestinians? Jewish people are not a monolith

[@AF53501]

Jews protesting w Palestinians are either a super small sect of ultrareligious Jews who believe that Israel should not exist (for religious reasons) or people who claim to be Jewish but do not actually practice/observe the religion.

[@jaialaiwarrior]

They weren't a monolith in WWII also. Some of them were allowed to run the camps.

[@pennyadrian7774]

The Alt Left tokenizes Jews in the same way they tokenize Black people. Most Black people never wanted to defund the police, and most Jews (around 90%) support the right of Israel to exist.

Peace should be what the chants are all about

[@TheAngelicRider]

When we say "talk" we place all the responsibility of our social ills on us. The issue should not fall on regular people, but on the politicians and ideologies that they carry with them into positions of power (in fact "position of power" is one of those problems). The reason people protest is because it is being left up to them to handle the problems of these politicians. Stop blaming people for the lack of ability to "talk" and start seeing politicians and power as the root of the problem.

[@pennyadrian7774]

Hatred is the root of the problem, and the vast majority of these protests express nothing but hate.

[@BabyGirlDontEvenPlay]

So what you're saying is that people screaming for democracy have no idea what they're talking about?

[@TheAngelicRider]

@@pennyadrian7774 hatred might be part of the problem, but it is not the structure that holds it all up. We tend to boil it all up to a feeling, or lack of ability (like patience or tolerance), but we miss the the structures built around us. I’m not simply talking about a school, or head master, but rather our systems. Power, as I brought up in my comment, is a granted position based on validation and piled up bureaucratic confirmations that make a person, policy, or ideology untouchable. Nations are built on these systems. So when we leave a problem such as what is going on for the Palestinian and Jewish people, we leave it up to them to “talk” it through. Does that sound logical at all? Weapons of mass destruction will not wait out a “conversation” between your neighbors. Talking might help you and your family, and your Palestinian cousin twice removed, but it will not help the mothers left without a family, or children left without parents. Yes, I am biased, but I also see the root of the problem. And it’s not hatred.

Whatever. It's all just talk. Either both sides are going to get governments that reasonably pursue their people's interests or just one side will continue to have that while the other complains and lets undemocratic bad faith orgs led by corrupt billionaires in Qatar turn them into martyrs. It's about responsibility, not kind treatment.
