Unity is Strength
Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are all deeply rooted in the land known as Israel and Palestine. But too often, walls and barriers separate members of these religions, despite their many similarities. The website Quora.com is a place for all people to share their personal struggles and tell their stories. Through these stories, people of other groups are humanized and writers and readers come to an understanding across religions, ethnicities, and cultures. Unity is Strength’s open online Israel-Palestine forum is hosted on Quora, is fast-growing, and has received more than a million views since its founding in 2019. At our event, three frequent contributors to Unity is Strength–one Jewish, one Christian, and one Muslim–held a 90-minute Zoom panel discussion of their religions’ basics and their life experiences as members of their respective religions who are connected to this land. The panel was live-streamed on Facebook and followed by an open discussion.
