Since October 7, 2023, national Quaker organizations like the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) and Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL) have joined many other Christians, Jews, and Muslims around the world calling for a permanent ceasefire, release of captives, the restoration of full humanitarian aid to Gaza, and long-term action to foster a just peace in Israel/Palestine.
A fundamental question remains, however, for individuals, local congregations, and regional bodies: What can we do to work for peace and justice in Israel/Palestine in this moment? In this talk, Steve Chase will share his reflections on how we can more effectively engage in individual and congregational self-education and dialogue about the root causes of the current crisis, as well as take personal and small group leadership for mobilizing more Friends to show up faithfully and speak truth to power in this challenging moment.
