Lerner emphasizes that a new approach to the issue requires giving<br /> primacy to love, kindness, and generosity. It calls for challenging the<br /> master narratives in both Israel and Palestine as well as the idea<br /> that “homeland security” can be achieved through military, political,<br /> economic, or media domination. His presentation at St. James at <strong>11:30AM on February 26th</strong> is sure to be insightful, inspiring, and thought-provoking.</p> Fri, 27 Jan 2012 14:30:54 -0500
