Understanding Israel Palestine
This show is inspired by Citizens for Justice in the Middle East, a local group that has advocated for 20 years for a fair and even-handed U.S. foreign policy that recognizes the rights of both Palestinians and Israelis. Our program offers interviews with journalists, scholars, policy experts and activists to offer multiple perspectives, and to clarify the underlying issues that are often obscured by headline news.
We listen to a conversation between two men: Alan Edelman, a Zionist and longtime Kansas City Jewish professional, and Alex McDonald, a Quaker and non-Zionist who began twenty years ago to study the history of Israel/Palestine and many unresolved issues in Israel/Palestine today. They offer differing narratives about Palestinian refugees and differing views on when or if refugees should be given the right to return to their homes in historic Palestine.
