Challenge your preconceived ideas on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.

Susan Perlman interviews Justin Kron of the Kesher Forum in Chicago as they discuss his new film: “Hope in the Holy Land” which provides the most fair and balanced film on this subject ever made according to reviews.  Justin was challenged with the statement “if your theology doesn’t lead you to love your neighbor and your enemy then something is wrong with your theology.”  He and Susan discuss how we must learn to look at the conflict in Israel from both sides: these are real people, real stories, people who want peace in their land.  The challenge for all of us:  learning to take a risk, step out of our comfort zone and listen to our enemy. Susan and Justin also talk about the true hope for Israel, the Gospel which brings true peace.
