Father Elias Chacour

The most important intersection for world peace lies in the resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. As the tense battle continues to rage between the Israeli and Palestinian governments, many of their civilians make efforts to become ordinary friends. The author of Blood Brothers, a memoir of his earlier life beginning with the 1948 war, Father Chacour is a prime example of someone who faced suffering and injustice but continues to promote and work for peace. An advocate for nonviolence and one of the most respected Palestinian Christian leaders in Israel, Father Chacour shares his vision for the advancement of common friendships between Israelis and Palestinians.
