Voices of Palestinian & Israeli nonviolence with Jon Stewart

Patch Adams protesting at a check point
Last week two of my close friends Erin and Casper Adson were tear gassed while taking part in a nonviolent protest in Palestine. The same week I was in Perth bringing together Muslim, Jewish and Christian schools together to talk about how we can “love our neighbour” while we are in conflict with them.  Thanks to Brian McLaren for sharing these two videos from Jon Stewart’s “The Daily Show” introducing the mainstream to the often over looked nonviolence movement for justice for Palestinian and Israel.
The videos can be found here:
One of the students from the Jewish students said to me, “Just talking to each other rather than about each other, makes it eaiser to hear each other.” So, so, true.

Re: Voices of Palestinian & Israeli nonviolence with Jon Stewart
A never-ending fire between Palestinian & Israeli. I wish I can do, even in my own little way to cease this war. Because of this, our economy had been affected. Supply follows demand, that’s how economics work – and there are few exceptions; one of them is not payday lending. Often, one of the criticisms of payday lending is the location of payday lenders, and often pawn shops as well. A recent Federal Reserve study, headed by Robin Prager, found that second tier lenders go to areas where most people don’t have the credit to access bank loans – that means that supply is following demand, and the market is working. IT’S NATURE AT WORK – not predation. Instead of concerning yourself with payday lending and payday loans, why don’t you concern yourself with alleviating poverty – you know, find a solution that has something to do with the problem.
