The Titanic Museum in Belfast is hands down one of the best museums I have ever visited. It is located at the very place where the Titanic was designed, built, and launched. Original artifacts include a life vest and the world-famous violin belonging to the ship's hero musician, Wallace Harley, who continued playing while the ship sank to prevent a mass panic.

Michael gifted this book to me while he was recently leading a delegation to Palestine that he arranged for me to speak with.

I thank him for sharing these stories of pain and hope from Palestine, Israel, Ireland/Northern Ireland, and South Africa.

I share these two passages that stuck with me:

"We cannot be interested only in forgiveness, kindness, empathy, and compassion; we must also consider things like power, generational trauma, redistribution of resources, reparations for harm, economic empowerment, and what to do with four hundred years of grieving. Advocates of reconciliation and advocates of justice must work together as colleagues, or we may, quite ironically, fight one another like enemies."

"I think it's important to say here that questioning the validity of generalizing a group of people is not equivalent to saying white South Africans weren't complicit in apartheid. Of course they were. They weren't all guilty in equal ways, but everyone who benefits from an unjust system and is not actively working to dismantle it is at least partly responsible for its harm. The same is true in Israel. The same is true in the United States."

And the struggle for peace with justice continues.
