About Humanity in the Holy Land
From the publisher's feed
Welcome to the Humanity in the Holy Land Podcast, I’m Ciara and I’m Adam, she is Mizrahi Jewish, she is from the UK and half of her family live in Israel. He is half Palestinian/half Lebanese…
living in the US. We are here to forge a peaceful and raw dialogue that we feel is missing from the conversations surrounding Israel and Palestine.
We are not here to change your minds or each other’s minds. We are not here to push an agenda. We are not here to antagonize the other side. We are not here to dehumanize. We are not here to solve the issue. We do not represent our leaders. We are not here to speak over those who live there on the ground. We are not here to point the finger.
We are here to get to know each other. We are here to leave space for human emotion. We are here to be human with opinions and feelings. We are here to be imperfect. We are here to make a difference. We are here because we know we don’t always need to agree to make that difference. We are here to be a cog in the wider machine of eventual peace and equality for all in the Holy Land.
