Storytelling and reimagining justice in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict

Have a comment? Text me! Renowned dermatologist and author Dr. Steve Feldman shares the inspiring journey behind his book Bent Toward Justice, highlighting how diverse perspectives, including Holocaust survivor Murray Swartzman’s story, reshaped his worldview.  He discusses the emotional complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Yitzhak Rabin’s influence, and the challenges of advocating for peace. Dr. Feldman reflects on his potential congressional campaign, inspired by Martin Luther King Jr.’s principles, and the power of storytelling to foster empathy, challenge assumptions, and drive meaningful change.  He emphasizes the need for increased advocacy from diverse voices, particularly within conservative and Jewish communities, to counter the notion that violence leads to peace. Through transformative anecdotes, including one that altered his medical decision-making, we explore the potential of storytelling to shape public perception, bridge divides, and influence policy.
