But firsthand accounts b y both the oppressor and the oppressed\, the expeller and the exiled\, rev eal the ongoing wounds. Nothing is resolved by dialogue alone\, yet nothin g will be resolved without it. Any hope of coexistence begins when the his torical truth is rediscovered and acknowledged. It begins here.\n\nDiscuss ion Panelists and Moderator:\nAlice Rothchild is the author of Broken Prom ises\, Broken Dreams: Stories of Jewish and Palestinian Trauma and Resilie nce and Condition Critical: Life and Death in Israel/Palestine.
