A heartfelt thank you to Plymouth Congregational Church for hosting Illusions of Peace: Ceasefires in the Middle East and America’s Global Standing and for creating space for such an important and timely conversation.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who came out to join us, listen, ask thoughtful questions, and engage with our panelists, Rev. Dr. Mitri Raheb, Joanne Cummings, and Rami G. Khouri. Your presence and willingness to be part of these conversations matter more than ever.

Events like these remind us that meaningful dialogue, education, and human connection still have the power to bring people together across backgrounds and perspectives. Thank you for taking the time to be with us and for continuing to stand alongside the people of Palestine through learning, advocacy, and hope.

For those who attended or registered for the event, the recording will be made available within the next week right here on this page. An email with the video link will also be sent out once it is ready.

For those who have asked how they can continue supporting this work, donations to Bright Stars of Bethlehem help sustain education, arts, and opportunities through Dar al-Kalima University and its students. If you did not have an opportunity to give during the event, you may do so below.
