As protests grow in the West Bank over the death of a Palestinian inside
an Israeli prison, we speak to a pair of Israeli and Palestinian
fathers who’ve responded to personal tragedies with activism for peace.
Bassam Aramin and Rami Elhanan united after the killings of their
daughters — Aramin’s at the hands of an Israeli officer and Elhanan’s in
a Palestinian suicide bombing. Once dedicated fighters for their
respective causes, they have since renounced violence and become leading
voices for peace. Their stories are told in the new documentary film,
"Within the Eye of the Storm," produced by Nisan Katz and Shelley
Hermon. With talk of a third intifada potentially breaking out in the
occupied Palestinian territories, Aramin and Elhanan join us to discuss
their shared journey and why they believe both Israelis and Palestinians
should join a nonviolent uprising against the Israeli occupation.Video
