For my final project, I would like to make a video which is focused on the possibility of peace in Jerusalem. The video would be comprised of two types of interviews. One type of interview will come from common American citizens/non-scholars. These people would be asked the following questions after being selected randomly off the street (on and off campus):
- Do you think peace between Israel and Palestine is possible? Why or why not?
- What do you think the implications of peace would be for Israel and Palestine? The world?
The second type of interviews would be from scholars, diplomats, and policy advocates, and religious leaders who have knowledge and a vested interest in the peace of Israel and Palestine. This list ideally would include Dr. Steven L.Spiegel, who works in the Israel Policy Forum to suggest US policy concerning the issue, Benjamin Gidron, Stanley Katz, and Yeheskel Heasenfeld, authors of
Mobilizing for Peace, and scholars such as Ari Shalim, Noam Chomsky, and Dr. Yousef Nasser, and religious leaders from Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. These people would be asked the same general questions as the common citizens but also asked questions specific to their work, be it policy, religious prophesies, or past experience.
I think that this is a good idea. I think you will get a wide array of responses. It might also be interesting along with asking about the possibility of peace, would be to ask what they picture when they think of Jerusalem.
