Storytelling and reimagining justice in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict

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.Join us as we examine the profound impact of stories in fostering understanding and promoting societal change.Send us Fan MailSupport the show📬 JOIN THE NEWSLETTERThe Storyteller Quest is  a weekly letter on writing,publishing, and the business of books.Subscribe, and I'll send you Traditional, Self, or Hybrid? —11 pages on what each publishing path really costs, plus a7-question worksheet that tells you which one is yours.Subscribe here.
