I remember the tag line and it has stayed with me all these years.
Shalom

I think my roommate Eleanor told me his daughter had married a Palestinian.

I like the work that the women’s group Zeitouna has done regarding the “Refusing to Be Enemies” film. The dream of coexistence continues and there must be space and a place for the blending of the two communities without harrassment.

Peace.

Just wanted to say how much I like your blog; also sorry to hear of Abie Nathan’s death (though I was unfamiliar with him until the last few days.

And a question that has been troubling me for the past few years. Various Christian denominations have responded to the Israeli Palestinian catastrophe in different ways.

Christian Zionists embrace Israel, and bash (politically) Palestinians.

The Liberal or mainstream Protestants seem to have embraced Palestinians, and bash (politically) Israel (boycotts, etc).

And we Catholics seem to have no idea what to do, and as a result do nothing (at least as a Christian denomination or community).

So my question is…is there anything any of us could do that would be seen by Jews as actually helpful (as opposed to threatening)?

( I seem to recall it would be broadcast as the station went off the air — the broadcasts were not 24-Hrs and they would shut down late at night and start again in the early am)
I wish there was a recording of that.
