We have chosen to read the book, “Palestine Peace Not Apartheid” by Jimmy Carter.  It is 246 pages long. And we will read a 22 page article interviewing Rashid Khalidi about his latest book. Here is the Li k to the article: https://bit.ly/3DRlHik

Carter’s book including appendix ends in 2003.  Khalidi’s interview took place in November 2024. Both the article and the book cover many of the same historical events.  It is interesting to see the different perceptions of events. The book the Khalidi article is based on, it is “The Hundred Years War on Palestine, A History of Settler Colonialism and Resistance, 1917 to 2017.  Published in. 2020

Carter states:  It will be seen that there is a formula for peace with justice in this small and unique portion of the world.  It is compatible with International law and has the approval of most palestinians and Israelis.

Khalidi states:  The last sign of a willingness by an Israeli government to do something other than use force was under Prime Minister Ehad Olmert who was in from 2006 to 2009  With that exception It’s been an iron will since Jabotinsky who coined the term in 1923 force more force.

Covid Policy
Based on current trends, the availability of the bivalent booster, and the policies of similar communal institutions in the area, Mishkan Ha’am’s new policy is as follows:
– At all programs, masks are no longer required. We still encourage mask usage, but will respect everyone’s individual choice.
– If you are not feeling well, we ask that you not attend events in person.
– We encourage people to follow public health guidelines regarding vaccination and testing.

We will continue to monitor and adapt our policy as conditions evolve. If you have questions or feedback, or are interested in being involved in future policy discussions, please write to mishkanhaam@gmail.com.
