Israel/Palestine transcends its borders as an issue; and I often think the struggle for me and my Jewish generation is a recognition that our way of being in the world (urban, achievement-oriented culture) must come to grips with its shadow, which is the village-and-land-based Palestinian experience that has been written off in racist and nationalistic ways. How readily young idealistic Jews seem to accept this struggle. Emily Henochowicz writes in a post on Palestine:
I was attracted to this activism by the cause of fighting against injustice, but I pursued it for the people and the images they make in that awesome landscape.
