In Israel and Palestine, the road to peace is a steep climb. How do you overcome decades of oppression, fear, and bloodshed? How do you combat current events that tear both sides even farther apart? For two activists, one Israeli and one Palestinian, the challenges seem insurmountable, and yet they try to see and understand the humanity in “the other”, forge connections that promote understanding, empathy, and, in their wildest hopes, alliance for peace building. Hotel Everest is their story.
6:30 pm: Light dinner served
7:00 pm: Screening will promptly begin
7:45-9:00 pm: Discussion and Q&A with the Director, Claudia Sobral, and Palestinian peace activist, Adnan Jaber.

Seemingly everything that there is to say about Israel and Palestine has been said, with deeply entrenched viewpoints becoming only more so in recent months amid war between Israel and Hamas. A new book provides a truly fresh intervention into the Israel-Palestine debate by focusing on a forgotten episode from history. With this event, author Asaf Elia-Shalev launches "Israel's Black Panthers," a book of narrative nonfiction about a group of young Mizrahi Jews from a slum in Jerusalem who rose in the 1970s to demand racial and ethnic equality. Inspired by the American revolutionary group of the same name, the Israeli Black Panthers shattered Israel's self-image as an egalitarian Jewish utopia, and served as one of the earliest voices advancing Israel-Palestinian peace. By focusing on this Mizrahi story, Elia-Shalev will discuss Israel beyond the binary of Jew and Arab and help explain why Benjamin Netayahu has maintained a stranglehold on power — and why his reign might soon be coming to an end.
with Chris Fleming, Naomi Ekperigin, Janaya Khan, Ever Mainard
hosted by Raye Schiller and Babs Gray
