    Peace Initiative for Israel & Palestine: Ep. 3 – Meet Aharon Dardik

    We continue our four-part series from the Peace Initiative for Israel and Palestine hosted at Commune Topanga by featuring Aharon Dardik, a Columbia student and activist. After moving as a child from Oakland, California, to a settlement in the West Bank, Aharon witnessed Israeli occupation and militarism firsthand. Aharon conscientiously objected to service in the Israeli Air Force and, following a four-month process of imprisonment, was legally recognized as a pacifist and discharged from military service. Since then, Aharon has worked in both Israeli and American grassroots activism, governmental lobbying, and policy writing for peace. Aharon and Jeff discuss Aharon’s work at Columbia toward bridging the Jewish and Palestinian communities, promoting understanding, and reducing demonization — an undertaking that hasn’t always been easy.

    Peace Initiative for Israel & Palestine: Ep. 2 – Meet Mohsen Mahdawi

    We continue our four-part series from the Peace Initiative for Israel and Palestine hosted at Commune Topanga by featuring Mohsen Mahdawi, a passionate activist and bridge-builder at Columbia University, currently in his senior year. Mohsen underscores empathy as the foundation of his work, especially in understanding others' perspectives, including Israelis and Jews, despite the challenging circumstances. In this conversation with Jeff, Mohsen shares his story of growing up in a Palestinian refugee camp and the significant trauma he experienced there. Despite losing an uncle, two cousins, and his best friend during the Second Intifada, and more recently, two additional cousins in the West Bank, Mohsen remains steadfast in his hope for justice and peace. Together Mohsen and Jeff discuss the importance of empathy, cross-cultural dialogue, addressing trauma, and peaceful advocacy for change.

    Peace Initiative for Israel & Palestine: Ep. 1 – Meet Jean Krasno

    At the end of August, Jeff hosted a summit at Commune Topanga called the Peace Initiative for Israel & Palestine. This week-long mini-conference gathered Palestinian and Israeli/Jewish campus leaders from Columbia University, Brown University, and UCLA as well as a number of Middle East historians and professional mediators. The goal was to engage in deep listening, to learn each other’s narratives, and to stand in each other’s shoes. And then, from this place of empathy and mutual understanding, work cooperatively to forge potential solutions for peace between Israel and Palestine. The genesis of this summit is Dr. Jean Krasno’s classroom at Columbia University, where she recently taught a class titled “Peacekeeping and Negotiation.” Today’s episode features Dr. Jean Krasno (aka Jeff’s mom) and sets the table for the following three episodes. Jean shares how she cultivated a sanctuary for non-violent conversation where people could be heard and seen and opposing ideas could be discussed and debated.
