[act-ma] Dr Rothchild speaks on Palestinian Human Rights Tomorrow(6/5)

[Marty Wrin]

On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the Israeli occupation of the
West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem, Grassroots International and Spontaneous
Celebrations invite you to an evening with physician, author, and activist
 
            Alice Rothchild, author of 
 
            Broken Promises, Broken Dreams
            Stories of Jewish and Palestinian 
            Trauma and Resilience
 
"Broken Promises, Broken Dreams" probes beyond the geopolitical  realities
confronting Israelis and Palestinians. It is a soul  searching, painfully
honest examination of ordinary people bonded in a tragic embrace. Ultimately
this powerful book is about healing festering wounds and  narrowing
irreconcilable differences. It deserves the widest readership."
 -    Bernard Lown, MD, Professor emeritus Harvard School of Public Health,
Co-recipient Nobel Peace Prize
 
Alice Rothchild takes us on an intimate journey through the complicated
historical legacy of Israel and Palestine. Through her work with Israeli and
Palestinian medical relief agencies, she brings to life the voices of people
mutually entwined in conflict and  invites us to engage in a different kind
of conversation about Israel and Palestine, one rooted in Jewish humanism,
grounded in empathy and forgiveness, and coupled with an appreciation of the
urgent need for political action.
