“Go Tell Them Our Story.” That was the plea of a young Palestinian man when he learned I was from the United States. On that day, he was not allowed to get through the checkpoint so he could go to the mosque for prayer.
— Al Mytty, WBW Illinois Chapter Coordinator
In February, Al Mytty was part of a Community Peacemaker Teams delegation to Palestine. The group heard many stories of what Palestinians are enduring. In this webinar on Thursday, May 8, Al shared some of those stories.

I wasn’t free to attend last night so I was pleased to belatedly watch Al’s presentation just now. Thanks, Al, for bearing witness!
I recommend this documentary, The Settlers, which deals with much of the issues that Al touched on in his presentation: https://substack.com/redirect/c0cae225-8ce9-45b0-b431-ad37c4888b20?j=eyJ1IjoiMXcxOXA1In0.xdov50z_LNgqs726MTrrv_nQpUbHqAzX2qt1AJeWmEI
Also, please consider participating in the March to Gaza, on June 15 2025, an international, peaceful gathering at the Rafah crossing to protest and bring attention to the forced starvation of Palestinians. As Al said, “There is no hope without risk.” I am a delegate but many more are needed, especially from North America (the EU has a much larger contingent so far). People from all over the world will be going. To join a local Telegram group for delegates or endorse the March to Gaza, or for more info: https://marchtogaza.net/

Cym,
Do You know Hana Inman? She was part of the March to Gaza. She and I will be doing a presentation at a local faith-based community next week.
