Show Details

Genres: 
Rev. Dr. Alex Awad is a pastor from the East Jerusalem Baptist Church, professor at Bethlehem Bible College, and author of two books about Palestine. On May 31, 2019, Dr. Awad spoke to a crowd at Portland's Peace House about the situation in Palestine. He began with a history of the conflict between Palestine and Israel, then described the current administration's cynical financial plan to resolve the conflict, and finished with a list of things we can do and a list of signs of hope. -------------------- Dr. Awad has an insider view of the devastation that has been inflicted on Palestine by Israel with the support of the US and Europe, as his family was forced out of their home and his father killed by Israeli soldiers. His talk makes the situation devastatingly clear and understandable in a way that mainstream media never does - his explanation of Christian Zionism is particularly unnerving. Dr. Awad's calm demeanor and support for non-violent solutions make this presentation particularly powerful. ------------------ This show was recorded by PC Peri and produced/edited by Barb Greene with editing assistance from Dan Handelman.
