Win Win: A Radical Vision for Peace in the Middle East
Manage episode 269819356 series 2778043
Can you imagine a story that’s big enough to encompass seemingly rival narratives? Can you imagine a peace in the Holy Land that doesn’t require anyone to compromise?
Meet Rabbi Yehuda HaKohen of the Brit Hazon movement and Vision Magazine . He is an alternative peace activist and outspoken opponent of the two-state solution. Yehuda lives in an “outpost” in the West Bank, but doesn’t identify as a "settler." He works with Jewish and Palestinian radicals on the front lines of the conflict and believes that the "extremists" are better suited to make a lasting peace in the land than the "Westernized officials signing American papers."
While deeply committed to Jewish history and practice, Yehuda believes that being more inclusive brings him closer to a "capital T" Truth, and he’s committed to peace work with his Palestinian neighbors. He wants to both deepen and soften Israel's Jewish character while creating a model society that offers all of its citizens equal rights. This conversation is a post-colonial, post-Zionist approach to the conflict in the Middle East, and it requires an overall shift in our intellectual paradigm. “We need to think differently, reject the limitations, and reimagine one another.” Listen here to learn more.
Listeners can find Yehuda's writings at Vision Magazine and his podcast, The Next Stage, on Soundcloud, iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher and Tune-in.
