Jews & Muslims: Intimate Strangers.  Narratives at War (1945 to Present Day)

Jews & Muslims:  Intimate Strangers is a documentary tracing the history of Jewish Muslim relations, providing rich material for discussion and an opportunity to engage in conversation that can build understanding between our communities.
 

This hour covers modern history, addressing the different perspectives held by Muslims and Jews regarding the establishment and growth of the State of Israel and the turbulence in the Middle East. The film asks viewers to consider whether the Israel / Palestine question should overwhelm the lessons of 1400 years of shared history.
