The Promised Land Museum, a photo and video installation, was recently displayed at Friends Center, Cambridge, MA. You can learn more about It and see its videos at http://promisedlandmuseum.org/.
It was developed by Dr. Steven Feldman, who was brought up in a strict Jewish family and community. Through this installation, he challenges us to exercise Jewish values in an examination of the occupation of Palestine by Israel. The Jewish Museum of the Palestinian Experience was founded to provide a Jewish perspective on this occupation. Basically, Feldman is urging us all to measure our attitudes and actions according to the prophet Jeremiah rather than the politician Benjamin Netanyahu.
Today we present a forum held at the Friends Center featuring responses to this unique graphic installation. It begins with prominent Quaker leader, Max Carter. He is followed by local Palestine activist Nancy Murray, and finally by Steve Feldman, creator of the exhibit. Following the presentations, the floor was opened up for discussion and we have included as much of that as time would allow.
Although Dr. Feldman lives in North Carolina, he ships this installation at his own expense anywhere that will host it.
Begun in 2004, This Week In Palestine (a weekly 8am feature of Truth and Justice Radio (TJR)) is an award-winning 45-minute (or more) segment of news from Palestine and discussion of issues relevant to the Palestinians' struggle for freedom from Israel's brutal military occupation and colonization of their homeland. It speaks from the point of view of Palestinians and those who care about them. TJR is aired Sundays 6-10am ET on WZBC 90.3FM, Newton, MA, also streamed live and archived for two weeks at wzbc.org; TJR's modest website, truthandjusticeradio.org, has a link to This Week In Palestine archives back thru 1-6-2008; editions are also accessible at radio4all.net. TJR sometimes airs Palestine coverage IN ADDITION to that provided by This Week In Palestine. We hope you'll write to us at tjradio@fastmail.com if you rebroadcast our work, or have questions or comments.
