SUMMARY:Documentary Looks at Work of Palestinian-Israeli Group Working for 
 Peace
DESCRIPTION:\nThu 5/15 @ 6:30PM\nIsraeli-Palestinian NGO Combatants for Pea
 ce describes itself as an “egalitarian\, bi-national\, grassroots moveme
 nt committed to non-violent action against the ‘Israeli occupation and a
 ll forms of violence’ in Israel and the Palestinian territories.” It a
 ims to bring peace and freedom to all people living in the region. Good lu
 ck with that!\nIsraeli/Palestinian relations have long a contentious issue
  that burst into the spotlight following the October 7\, 2023 kidnapping\,
  rape and slaughter of more than 1\,000 Israeli civilians by Palestinian g
 roup Hamas\, and neither side too inclined to listen to the other — with
  strident pro-Palestinian protests met by equally strident claims of anti-
 Semitism (now being cynically used by a presidential administration packed
  with anti-Semites.)\nThe documentary There Is Another Way aims to shed so
 me light on Combatants for Peace’s attempts to bring non-violent solutio
 ns to the region\, and dealing with the escalating challenges since Octobe
 r 7. The film is now touring the country for screenings at a variety of ve
 nues\, including college campuses\, community centers and laces of worship
 .  Its Cleveland premiere takes place at the Cleveland Institute of Art C
 inematheque on Thursday May 15. The film will be followed by a Q&amp\;A wi
 th the filmmakers: director/producer Stephen Apkon and producer Marcina Ha
 le\, a Cleveland native.\n“It is a strangely ‘radical’ idea today to
  hold the suffering\, the capacity for violence as well as peace\, compass
 ion\, and love\, in other words\, the humanity of people engaged in confli
 ct in a shared space\,” says Apkon. “Yet it is exactly this that I bel
 ieve is essential to reclaiming our humanity and what is possible as we be
 gin to humanize ‘the other’.”\nGet tickets to the screening here.\n[
