A queer prayer for nonviolence in Israel/Palestine
In this critical moment, our voices — one a lesbian rabbi raised in suburban New Jersey, and the other, a gay professor raised in Ramallah — draw upon the legacies of Jewish and Palestinian peace activists who have come before us, to call for a new path forward rooted in nonviolence. We reject the binary choices presented by so many in each of our communities – the struggle for Israel/Palestine is not a sports game in which only one side can win and that requires the other to lose.
