Film Screening & Discussion – “1913: Seeds of Conflict”

On Thursday, May 23, at 3:30pm, at the West Tisbury Library, the public is invited to a screening of the film, “1913: Seeds of Conflict.” There will be a discussion to follow. This event is presented by Expanding the Conversation: Israel/Palestine. Free and open to the public.

About the film:
“Most observers consider the Balfour Declaration and Mandate period of the 1920s as the origin of today’s Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Breaking new ground, 1913: SEEDS OF CONFLICT, a one-hour documentary directed by filmmaker Ben Loeterman, explores the divergent social forces growing in Palestine before World War I, when Arabs and Jews co-existed in harmony as Ottomans, each yearning for a land to call their own.”

Expanding the Conversation: Israel/Palestine is a group of islanders that formed after October 7th to come together in community amidst complex feelings to have difficult conversations, raise awareness, and inspire action towards lasting peace. We stand for peace, truth, justice, and humanity and against islamophobia, antisemitism, and all forms of racism and dehumanization.
