‘No One Should Live Like This’: Students Hear From Israeli, Palestinian Parents

Two dozen students, staff and faculty members listened to a Palestinian and an Israeli – joining by Zoom from halfway across the world – explain how they are trying to bring an end to suffering with dialogue. The presenters, Bassam Aramin and Tova Buksbaum, are members of the Parents Circle – Families Forum, a joint Israeli-Palestinian organization of more than 700 families who have lost loved ones to Middle East violence. Each shared stories about the experience of losing a family member.
