The Check-in: What's Iran Got To Do With It...Part 2
April 22, 2024 19:00 - 50 minutes - 34.8 MBAfter Israel’s strike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus, Iran launched a barrage of 300 missiles at Israel from sites around the Middle East. While around 99% of the projectiles were intercepted before landing, the retaliatory response represented an escalation in a moment already fraught with risk of greater war. Then, overnight last Friday, Israel responded with a strike near an Iranian nuclear site, raising concerns that the region could be on the brink of massive violence. In this ep...

Security Council successfully passed a resolution calling for an immediate and “lasting” ceasefire in Gaza, with the US abstaining.

What difference will the resolution make on the ground, and for the protection of international norms of human rights? And what can we do to use our voice to build a world that supports the freedom, security, and dignit...

The Check-in: South Africa takes Israel to Court
January 22, 2024 14:00 - 35 minutes - 24.3 MBAll you need to know about South Africa's case against Israel at the International Court of Justice in The Hague. South Africa's complaint accuses Israel of breaching its commitments to the Genocide Convention in relation to its 100+ day war against the people of Gaza, in which more than 24,000 people have been killed. The significance of this case could not be higher. What difference will it make for the people of Gaza and Israel, how might the US be held accountable in a future hearing...

What does the next day after a ceasefire look like? What else can we do to support not ju...

The Check-in: Leaning in as Peacemakers - Responding to Oct 7

He joined David Gungor on the show to reflect on his time with Telos and what's next. Sometimes, peacemaking can be perceived as “neutrality” or “passivity.” Jack reminds us that actually, peacemaking is tough and gritty. It comes with a cost. With clarity and vulnerability, he describes what those costs have bee...
Peace Songs: Garden Will Bloom
August 26, 2023 19:00 - 14 minutes - 9.73 MBWhat do we do when it feels like we take one step forward toward peace and justice, but two steps back? When the temptation to nihilism is strong, is there room for hope? In the newest single in the Peace Songs album, Kate Gungor, John Guerra, and Diana Gameros explored the possibility of hope in the face of nihilism. They declare with us that hope is not a feeling, but an action. It is something we do—like the patient, attentive tending of a garden, in expectation of its bloom. Hear from...

July 31, 2023 13:00 - 44 minutes - 30.7 MBLast week, the Israeli Knesset passed a law that has the international community, and large portions of Israeli society, asking: what’s happening to democracy in Israel? We discussed the law, the months-long protest movement against it, and what it all means for peace, justice, and human rights for all people in the region—both Israeli and Palestinian. And to make things even more interesting, we did all of this with the newest member of the Telos team, Eli Philip! Eli walks us through wh...

Medgar Evers was an icon in the Civil Rights Movement (also known as the Southern Freedom Movement) in Mississippi until his untimely assassination in his family’s home on June 12, 1963. Yet, many of us have never heard about his impact on the movement or the way his assassination reverberates still today in some communities. We unpack those dynamics and honor the legacy of both ...

The Check-in: What Happens in Jerusalem Doesn't Stay in Jerusalem
April 15, 2023 09:00 - 45 minutes - 31.4 MBLast week, Israeli forces stormed Al-Aqsa mosque, beating those inside and arresting hundreds of Palestinians worshipers. In an echo of 2021, it appeared that the convergence of Ramadan, Passover, and Easter in the holy city would spark another escalation as rockets and bombs lighted the skies above Israel's borders and the Gaza Strip. In this episode, we detail the events and offer the necessary context often missing from mainstream sources, and we predict where we might be headed from here...

Thi...
The Check-in: Insurrection in Brazil?
January 13, 2023 18:00 - 33 minutes - 22.9 MBWhat just happened in Brazil? We’re asking that question too.

The Check-in: Advent in the South
December 23, 2022 20:00 - 21 minutes - 15 MBIt’s the holiday season! For most of us, that means the storm before the calm. So this week, we invited Telos co-founder Todd Deatherage on the call to help us slow down, reflect, and look back on some of the wins of the past few months. One way we did this was to discuss the liturgical holiday of Advent, which Christians practice during the weeks leading up to Christmas as a season of waiting and expectation. Todd shares how he approaches Advent as a peacemaker, with an eye to the particu...

How will this new government approach the Occupation and Palestinian communities, both within Israel and the Palestinian ter...
The Check-in: Puerto Rico and the legacy of a monarch
September 28, 2022 17:00 - 35 minutes - 24.7 MBLast week most major news outlets were covering the death and funeral arrangements of Queen Elizabeth II. At the same time, Hurricane Fiona hit Puerto Rico just days before the 5 year anniversary of Hurricane Maria, with hardly any headline coverage. In this episode we discuss different conversations around the death of the Queen, the legacy of British Imperialism, and what colonialism has to do with Puerto Rico. We also reflect on how to respond as peacemakers holding competing narratives...

The Check-in: Biden brings Orwell to Israel/Palestine
July 25, 2022 12:00 - 28 minutes - 19.7 MBPresident Biden wrapped up his tour in the Middle East, and our team is still trying to make sense of the visit. There was lots of talk about democracy, freedom, and security in equal measure (eerily reminiscent of our call for "freedom, security, and dignity in equal measure"), but no mention of the underlying realities of occupation, or of the US’ profound influence to push for peace. It was Orwellian in the extreme. This week, Todd, Greg, Jack, and Sarah discuss the visit, and why this ...
The Check-in: Who Killed Shireen Abu-Akleh?
July 13, 2022 09:00 - 33 minutes - 22.8 MBWhat is the US’ role in the Middle East? In May, Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu-Akleh was killed while reporting in Jenin in the West Bank. The US finally released a statement last week both “urging accountability” for her death and saying that it cannot be determined who killed her—but if it was the Israeli military, which independent news agencies and the UN have concluded, it would surely be an accident. How can so much be held in one statement? We discuss the statement, ho...

May 23, 2022 20:00 - 44 minutes - 30.6 MBPalestinian American Journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was shot and killed on May 11th while reporting on Israeli raids in the Palestinian West Bank city of Jenin.

And over the weekend, multiple communities in the US were terrorized by mass shootings including in Buffalo, NY, and Laguna Woods, CA. We discuss how peacemakers should respond to t...

May 10, 2022 17:00 - 27 minutes - 18.7 MBHow can you humanize the “other” if you never walk alongside them? David Bailey grew up in relationship with those on the margins of society. But it wasn’t until he moved into an under-resourced community that he began to more fully understand the ways that race, geographic segregation, and poverty intersect to create realities that are difficult to escape. It was through this proximity that he began to build authentic relationships with his neighbors, transforming how he advocates for hea...

What does the summit have to say about the Palestinian issue? *Note: We recorded this show the afternoon before the attack in Dizengoff Square, near where Jack...
Undaunted S2 | Todd Deatherage: Finding a Third Way
April 01, 2022 08:00 - 38 minutes - 26.4 MBHow can you enjoy for yourself what you deny for your neighbor? This is the question that drove Todd Deatherage in co-founding Telos. It’s a question that compels him to a life of “neighbor love,” to not just passively accept that his neighbors need the same things that he does, but to actively work at providing these things for them. Todd shares how this neighbor love is at the core of Telos’ guiding principle of mutual flourishing, which imagines a future for Palestinians and Israelis w...
