For those of you who missed yesterday's presentation at WESPAC, I highly recommend taking the time to watch this 40 minute clip. It is truly outstanding. Jafar and Suha give us so much hope and inspiration for the future of Israel/Palestine. They are eloquent, passionate, deeply committed and model precisely how and why the Palestinian citizens of Israel are gamechangers for the region. They will return to WESPAC next year with a bigger delegation including Jewish citizens of Israel as well as potentially Members of the Knesset. We were so delighted to host them:![]()
