Israel is 60 years old and the Palestinians have had 60 years of dispossession. How does this feel for a Palestinian Israeli? Jonathan will also address the crisis for the Palestinians, who are the largest refugee group in the world, and how they feel about the ‘nakba’(catastrophe).
Jonathan Kuttab is a Palestinian human rights lawyer and activist.
He studied in the U.S. and is a member of the bar there. He came back to Israel/ Palestine, studied Hebrew and joined the Israeli Bar Association as well as the Palestinian one. He was a negotiator at the Cairo Peace Talks. He is on the board of Bethlehem Bible College, and is a close friend of writer and social justice advocate Ron Sider.
President Jimmy Carter quotes him as one of the voices that shows the way forward in his latest book Palestine: Peace not Apartheid. While Jonathan says: "I am a deeply committed Christian and that is what motivates all of my behaviour and action."
