The arts including cuisine, drawing, poetry, scripture, objects d’art, and film were the vehicles used to find existential meanings and in particular new learning about “the Other.” Findings showed both resistance and attraction to the resolution of profound and deeply felt histories and personal narratives. The author’s trip to Israel and the West Bank of Palestine followed, in order to explore the review of literature.enAvailable to the World Wide WebDiaspora Jews and PalestiniansCommunity Based, Participatory Action ResearchCo-operative InquiryArtsIsrael and Palestineproject
