Purpose of this event:
That churches, other faith groups, and the secular activist
community learn from each other, and engage in
complementary action for freedom and justice for Palestine.
Questions, Discussion, Written Information to Address These
Subjects: - What sources can one trust to know the truth about current realities in Israel,
Gaza, West Bank? - What do Methodists and other faith groups have to say about Palestine, Israel,
and Genocide? - What are the actions faith communities are doing and could be doing to bring
justice and peace there? - What does Palestine have to do with Climate Change, Racism, Immigrant
justice, and other places of injustice? - How do BDS (boycott, divestment, sanctions) in general and the Chevron
Boycott in particular connect the issues? - How does one turn “concern” into action for Palestinians, ending genocide and
ethnic cleansing, and, ultimately support actual peace and justice for all in the
region? ( i.e. What can we actually do about it?) - How can statements and resolutions from higher level faith leaders and
conferences which condemn violence or support efforts for Palestine gain life and
effectiveness in the local church or community at the “grass-roots” level?
