Adam and Ciara speak with Tamar, an Israeli-American peace activist in Jerusalem and a member of the anti-war bloc. She reflects on her Yemenite Jewish heritage, her journey to Israel, and the realities of life there. Tamar also shares her experiences navigating a relationship with a Palestinian from Jerusalem.

Adam and Ciara speak with Awad Awad, the inaugural director of Salaam, Middle East and North African Cultural Center at the University of Illinois, who shares his experiences and perspectives on his Palestinian identity and the complexities of the Middle East. We discuss the need for healthy dialogue, equal rights for all, and the importance of understanding the diverse cultures and histories of the holy land and the Arabic-speaking world. We also discuss the ongoing conflict in Israel/Palestine, the role of diplomacy versus violence in resolving it, and the importance of empathy, understanding, and dialogue in resolving conflicts (Awad's statements do not represent the center or the university but rather his own personal beliefs).

Adam and Ciara speak with Ilham, a Palestinian-German citizen living in Munich, to discuss her experiences as a member of the Palestinian diaspora and her efforts to foster dialogue for peace. Ilham shares insights on encountering anti-Palestinian racism growing up in Germany and talks about her activism with groups such as BiPOC+ Feminism, which unites Black, Indigenous, People of Color, Feminists, and Jews (Instagram: @bipoc.feminismen), and Palestinians and Jews for Peace (Instagram: @palestinians_jews_for_peace @maozinon).
