Podcasts about Standing Together

With Israel conspicuously absent from Trump's first major Middle East trip, Christiane speaks with Biden's former Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman about the ethical concerns surrounding his overseas deals and meetings, the U.S. role in the war in Gaza, and new revelations about efforts by Biden's inner circle to conceal his decline ahead of the election. Then, Ukraine's former Foreign Minister, Dmytro Kuleba, speaks to Christiane about what the country should reasonably expect and where the crisis stands now after Putin was a no-show for ceasefire talks in Turkey. Clare Sebastian reports on Russia's propaganda campaign to maintain its grip on the occupied Ukrainian port city of Mariupol. And, as the war in Gaza continues with no ceasefire in sight, Israeli Alon Lee-Green and Palestinian citizen of Israel, Rula Daood, co-directors of "Standing Together", a Jewish-Arab movement for peace, discuss their hopes for ending the conflict, and shared activism. Also, as the first group of white South Africans landed as welcome refugees in the U.S. this week, from Christiane's archive, her 1997 report on the long post-apartheid path to reconciliation in the country.  Learn more about your ad choices.

President Trump received a lavish welcome in Qatar today, the second stop on his tour of Gulf nations. While the primary focus of his trip is making deals -- yesterday he announced a $600 billion deal with Saudi Arabia -- he also said he's lifting all sanctions on Syria that were imposed during that country's brutal civil war. Correspondent Jeff Zeleny is following the president and he joins the program from Doha.   Also on today's show: former Italian PM Matteo Renzi; Alon-Lee Green & Rula Daood, co-directors of "Standing Together," a Jewish-Arab peace movement; NYT columnist Thomas Friedman  Learn more about your ad choices.

Since Oct. 7, 2023, many progressive Canadian Jews have found themselves increasingly unwelcome by mainstream community members and organizations. But instead of keeping quiet, they have, over the past nearly two years, created their own spaces to have open and honest dialogues about Israel-Palestine, and their own relationship to Judaism. Recently, hundreds of these progressive Jews gathered for a series of peace summits in Toronto and Montreal, with smaller gatherings in Ottawa, Winnipeg, London and Vancouver. These coincided with a larger peace conference in Jerusalem now underway May 8-9, called It's Time, helmed by Israeli and Palestinian peace activists, including the granddaughter of Shimon Peres. The Toronto summit was organized under the auspices of Toronto Friends of Standing Together, an Israeli charity working to bridge the divide between all peoples living in Israel, and more immediately to stop the cycle of grief and violence preventing a peaceful co-existence when the war ends for good. On today's episode of The CJN Daily, hear what happened when host Ellin Bessner visited the conference—what the speakers and attendees had to say. You'll hear from Jeff Carolin, a criminal lawyer and dispute mediator who, after Oct. 7, started hosting regular meetings for progressive Jews in his living room; and siblings Noam and Ido Citrin, a pair of university students who are building new connections and having difficult conversations in unexpected places.

It seems nobody ever loses a bet forecasting that things can only get worse in the Middle East. And the last year-and-a-half has been particularly awful. The Hamas attack and hostage taking in Israel on October 7, 2023. The ensuing Israeli response which has killed so many in Gaza. Does it always have to be this way? Angela Mattar is a Palestinian activist and medical student. Itamar Avneri is an Israeli city councillor for the municipality of Tel Aviv/Jaffa. They are both part of a group called Standing Together, which dares to imagine a future that is very different from the past.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A leading Israeli peace activist has spoken to FRANCE 24 about how people need to pick a side in the Middle East conflict. But he says those sides are the right-wing Israeli government and Hamas, as opposed to the Israeli people and the Palestinian people, both of whom want peace. Itamar Avneri is a founding member of the Israeli grassroots movement Standing Together. He spoke to us before attending a conference for peace at Paris's City Hall. Organised with the NGO Les Guerrières de la Paix, the event is bringing together Israeli and Palestinian peace activists in a bid to find concrete solutions. He joined us on Perspective.

The province has an action plan to combat gender-based violence called Standing Together.

She's introduced five bills intended to strengthen legislation.

Ralph welcomes back Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson to share his view of Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense and to get his take on the military and political situation in the Middle East. Then, from Tel Aviv we are joined by Alon-Lee Green, co-director of the Israeli peace organization “Standing Together” a progressive grassroots movement based in Israel that organizes Jewish and Palestinian citizens against the occupation and the ethnic cleansing of Gaza.Lawrence Wilkerson is a retired U.S. Army colonel. Over his 31 years of service, Colonel Wilkerson served as Secretary of State Colin Powell's Chief of Staff from 2002 to 2005, and Special Assistant to General Powell when he was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 1989 to 1993. Colonel Wilkerson also served as Deputy Director and Director of the U.S. Marine Corps War College at Quantico, Virginia, and for fifteen years he was the Distinguished Visiting Professor of Government and Public Policy at the College of William and Mary. He is currently a Senior Fellow at the Eisenhower Media Network, senior advisor to the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, and co-founder of the All-Volunteer Force Forum.The Pentagon is now led by one of the least-qualified persons ever to be Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth. He was exposed by the Democrats and the media when he was going through the congressional-confirmation process as ignorant, belligerent, vengeful, a woman-abuser denounced by his own mother, and a financial mismanager of the two groups that he directed. He's now Secretary of Defense.Ralph NaderWhat I'd like to see Hegseth do is try his best to get Trump to help him refuse that money (the $150 billion that Congressional Republicans have proposed adding to the military budget). Gordon Adams—a man for whom I have a lot of respect, who was an OMB-type for a long, long time and knows more about the defense budget than probably anyone alive—said the truth the other day when he said: when Defense gets tons of money, it's polluted, weakened, and turns into a place that can't do its job. When it has periods of scarcity—and the better the scarcity, the deeper the scarcity, the better the Defense Department—it turns out to operate pretty well. So I think that's stupid. I think it's the Congress doing it because the Congress has become a wholly paid subsidiary of the military-industrial complex.Colonel Lawrence WilkersonAlon-Lee Green is National Co-Director of Standing Together, a progressive Jewish-Arab grassroots movement. Previously, he worked for five years as a political and parliamentary adviser in the Knesset, the Israeli parliament, and was involved in the legislative process and the building of citizens' campaigns that influenced parliamentary decisions. During that time, he was responsible for laws advancing the rights of workers, students, and the LGBT community.It devastates me to know that I'm part—as an Israeli citizen, as a citizen that wants to take responsibility of the society, the Israeli society, it makes me devastated and sick and so, so, so heartbroken to know that we are a part of and a reason for so many tens of thousands reported people that died… I do not understand how someone can come to us Israelis and tell us that this is in the name of our security. I cannot understand how someone can promise us that this will better our lives or create a good or a reality that is livable. I understand it as just something that promises more death.Alon-Lee GreenIt is a given fact, especially after October 7th, a lot of the soldiers went there and did what they did believing that they're fighting to defend, they're fighting monsters. But a lot of soldiers died there. A lot of mothers lost their sons. A lot of families joined the circle of grief. And this is something that changed people's perspectives and people's opinion about the war. A lot of soldiers came back wounded. A lot of soldiers came back with PTSD. And we are hearing voices right now of soldiers saying, “We will not come back there, even if you call us into reserve duty.” It exists in society. You can hear it. You can hear it also around the question of the hostages, soldiers saying, “I thought I'm fighting for 300 days to release the hostages. And now I realized I'm fighting for the delusional messianic ideas of the right wing to build settlements in Gaza or to forcefully transfer people from there. This is not the reason I went.” And it is a good awakening we see in our society.Alon-Lee GreenThe Israeli media and most of the Israeli parliament and political system celebrated Trump's declaration of forceful transfer from Gaza and the supposed takeover by the US of Gaza. They said things like, “It's a Biblical miracle,” “We live in Biblical times,” things like this. The reaction of Standing Together is the complete opposite, of course. This is not only a delusional, scary, and dangerous plan, it is also something that is not going to happen. Trump can dream until tomorrow to remove two million Palestinians from Gaza. It is not going to happen. But only speaking about it is the problem itself. Thinking that you can remove—I don't know how, but remove two million people from their homeland, fantasizing about somehow making people disappear from the land, it is a dangerous idea.Alon-Lee Green Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

Take our annual survey.Until the Israeli government sets a plan for Gaza after the war, Rula Daood says, they are choosing to end up with Hamas. A speech pathologist by trade, Rula Daood is now the national co-director of Standing Together, a progressive grassroots movement of Israeli Jews and Palestinians fighting for "full equality for everyone in this land." A Christian Palestinian who is also an Israeli citizen, Rula grew to become a political activist organizing Jewish-Arab partnerships in Israel's mixed cities. Since joining Standing Together in the late 2010s, Raood has propelled the movement's dramatic growth. Alongside her co-director Alon-Lee Green, who is Jewish, Rula was named as one of TIME magazine's 100 emerging global leaders of 2024.Now, she joins us to answer 18 questions on Israel, including the ceasefire deal, Gaza's future, and how peace is still possible.This interview was held on Jan. 21.Here are our 18 questions:As an Israeli, and as a Palestinian, how are you feeling at this moment in Israeli history?Can you share more about your experience of October 7?What has been Israel's greatest success and greatest mistake in the current war against Hamas?Is Standing Together reflective of Israeli society? What do you look for in deciding which Knesset party to vote for?Which is more important for Israel: Judaism or democracy?What role should the Israeli government have in religious matters?What is Zionism for you?Is opposing Zionism ever antisemitic?Can questioning the actions of Israel's government and army — even in the context of this war — be a valid form of love and patriotism?What do you think is the most legitimate criticism leveled against Israel today?What do you think is the most illegitimate criticism leveled against Israel today?Do you think peace between Israelis and Palestinians will happen within your lifetime?What should happen with Gaza and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict after the war?What do you wish the world knew about the Palestinian communities in Israel?What is a book you think everyone should read about Israel?Where do you identify on Israel's political and religious spectrum, and do you have friends on the “other side”?Do you have more hope or fear for Israel?

Israel's security cabinet has this afternoon ratified a ceasefire deal to exchange dozens of hostages being held captive by Hamas in Gaza - for Palestinians in Israel and to have an initial six week pause in the war. We hear from Alon Lee Green, co director of Israeli peace movement Standing Together, and Rosalia Bollen of UNICEF's Gaza Office.

Tommy spends some time with Councilmember JP Morrell talking about the terror attack on Bourbon Street and what needs to be done to make New Orleans safer.

On this episode of The Isaac Hayes Show, we explore the growing divide within the Republican Party and the lack of unity that's holding it back from achieving its potential. From GOP senators standing in the way of Trump's cabinet picks to internal party struggles that weaken conservative efforts, we discuss how Republicans are failing to unite when it matters most. We also touch on the relentless attacks from the left and media against figures like Pete Hegseth, the upcoming SCOTUS decisions on transgender surgeries, and the consequences of lawsuits against gun manufacturers. As America faces increasing violence and political tensions, we reflect on the need for Republican unity and the role of faith in bringing the nation back to a place of healing and strength.

On today's episode of The Destination Marketing Podcast, Adam sits down with Thomas Salley, the director of Great State of Wilkes, Tourism in North Carolina. Thomas joins the podcast in the wake of the impact of Hurricane Helene and he discusses his experiences with the storm and what role DMOs play when this kind of natural disaster takes place. He also provides important takeaways for other DMOs to use as a future reference when dealing with a natural disaster, such as the importance of reliable communication methods, establishing yourself as the travel spokesperson for your destination and building strong relationships with local government and emergency services. "I woke up Sunday morning after the storm had kind of come through, and I saw all these images and heard people saying, you know, we need all of these things, and just seeing the destruction, I knew I had to do something. So, I felt like in my role, what I could do was to go and be of service to my neighbors." - Thomas Salley Resources Mentioned in the Episode: Great State of Wilkes, Tourism: https://www.wilkescountytourism.com/ Hospitality Relief Workers Fund: https://www.ncrla.org/foundation/nc-hospitality-workers-relief-fund/ Visit North Carolina | State Tourism Director Wit Tuttell: wit.tuttell@visitnc.com State Government Emergency Fund: https://pay.payitgov.com/ncdonations and https://www.nc.gov/disaster-relief-fund-faqs State Hurricane Resource Page: https://www.ncdps.gov/our-organization/emergency-management/hurricane-helene https://www.visitnc.com/advisory/cAdA/hurricane-helene-travel-advisory If you're enjoying the show, please leave us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts!

In this episode, we talk with Yehuda Mansell, about the complexities of Christian Zionism and its impact on the Israel-Palestine conflict. Yehuda challenges the "blind support" many Christians offer to Israel and emphasizes the need for true Christian love to advocate for peace and healing. We also discuss his involvement with Standing Together, a movement bringing Jews and Palestinians together to find pragmatic and hopeful solutions.Thanks for listening!Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Youtube.To learn more about our summer programs visit:https://www.regent-college.edu/summerSubscribe to our newsletter to hear all about Regent College:https://www.regent-college.edu/about-us/subscribe

In this episode, we sit down with Chief Reggie Rader to discuss the NFL's recent push for biometric data collection from police officers. The LVPPA and LVMPD are united in their stance, refusing to sign any agreement that allows the storage and potential sharing of officer biometrics with the NFL's partners. Chief Rader explains the implications of this decision and the impact it could have on law enforcement.   We also welcome Dr. Tenney and CAO James Kilber from the LVMPD Wellness Bureau, who provide insights into the critical role of officer wellness and share exciting updates about the new wellness facility.   Finally, Steve Grammas introduces the newest member of the LVPPA Executive Board, Joel Blasko. Tune in for these important conversations affecting our officers and the community.  

As we head toward the end of summer, many of us are talking about the contentious election environment. In this episode, host Paula Felps is by Rob Volpe, an empathy activist, consultant, and author of Tell Me More About That: Solving the empathy crisis one conversation at a time, who talks about how we can avoid some of the hazards that come with discussing differing opinions. He'll also explain how learning to approach these conversations differently can change the way we interact with one another in the long run. In this episode, you'll learn: Why the discourse has become so heated and how social media has contributed to the problem. How it changes to stop viewing someone as being on “the other side.” The power of the Curious Breath — and how to use it.

Episode 292. What These Palestinian & Israeli Activists Need Us to Know: Standing Together's Sally Abed & Alon-Lee Green  Sally Abed, an elected leader at Standing Together and Alon-Lee Green, the National co-Director and a founder of Standing Together, talk us through what is happening in Palestine and Israel right now, their own stories of growing up and living through it, and how we can help in their mission to bring liberation, equality, and peace to all who live on the land: - Why Palestinian liberation and Jewish safety are completely interconnected;  - Who's really benefiting from the U.S. sending billions of dollars to the Israeli government; - The myths Americans have been taught about the Palestinian-Israeli crisis;  - Why Sally says it is vital that Americans not “sit out” the upcoming elections; and - How we can help the PEOPLE on the land today to secure a ceasefire, end the Israeli occupation of Palestine, bring the hostages home, and secure peace, liberation, and safety for all.  On Standing Together:  Standing Together is a grassroots movement mobilizing Jewish and Palestinian citizens of Israel in pursuit of peace, equality, and social and climate justice. While the minority who benefit from the status quo of occupation and economic inequality seek to keep us divided, we know that we — the majority — have far more in common than that which sets us apart. When we stand together, we are strong enough to fundamentally alter the existing socio-political reality. The future that we want — peace and independence for Israelis and Palestinians, full equality for all citizens, and true social, economic, and environmental justice — is possible. Because where there is struggle, there is hope. - To Learn More: https://www.standing-together.org/en - To Join their Mission: https://www.standing-together.org/friends  - To Give:  https://www.standing-together.org/donatehere - If you can attend their NYC event: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/fighting-for-peace-and-justice-standing-together-nyc-fundraiser-registration-849180350287 To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
