Discharge, Action, and New Possibilities

Due to lack of space, many reports on what RCers did during the recent military escalation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict could not appear in this Present Time. Co-Counselors discharged heavily on the conflict and on their early distresses attached to it. They gave additional support to Palestinian and Israeli Co-Counselors. They shared their best thinking, inside and outside of RC, about the irrationality of wars, the right of both Palestinians and Israelis to their own homelands, the racism toward Palestinians, the injustice of the occupation, the middle-agent role of Jews and Israel, and anti-Jewish oppression. They held classes and support groups in Israel, Australia, Europe, Canada, and the United States for Jews, Palestinians, and allies. Despite the heartbreak, new possibilities emerged.
