This week’s Fathom Highlight is an exclusive look into what happens when a leading Palestinian activist and a Jewish Israeli come together to build a grassroots peace movement. Ali Abu Awwad and Shaul Judelman are the founder of Roots – an Israeli-Palestinian project in the West Bank that works for co-existence by changing peoples’ narratives and by transforming the relationship between the two peoples. Ali Abu Awwad discusses imprisonment, bereavement, and the missing Palestinian non-violent movement. Shaul Judelman talks about his journey to non-violent peace activism and his thoughts about the political future.
Our voice of the week is Iraqi Ambassador to the United States Lukman Faily, former US Ambassador to Turkey and Iraq James F. Jeffrey and AEI’s Michael Rubin and Danielle Pletka discussing the role of Syrian Kurds in the battle against ISIS and the consequences of and practical challenges to the creation of an independent Kurdish state in the Middle East.
Our photo of the week is Muslim worshipers praying inside the Dome of the Rock, in Jerusalem’s Old City, during the final Friday of the holy month of Ramadan.
