Two peace activists — Sally Abed, a Palestinian citizen of Israel and her colleague Alon-Lee Green, a Jewish Israeli — have just returned to the Middle East after a weeklong tour of the US. The pair are leaders of a grassroots group called Standing Together. They talk with The World’s Marco Werman about the debates they saw raging in the US and how the current crisis has upended efforts at Arab-Israeli grassroots collaboration.
