No Way but Forward: Life Stories of Three Families in the Gaza Strip Date & Time

Announced by the University of Pittsburgh

The Jerusalem Fund's Palestine Center and The Institute for Palestine Studies-USA (IPS-USA) invite you to join us for the launch of Brian Barber’s new book, "No Way But Forward: Life Stories of Three Families in the Gaza Strip," in conversation with Said Arikat, renowned Palestinian journalist, senior fellow at The Jerusalem Fund’s Palestine Center and the Washington bureau chief for Jerusalem based newspaper Al-Quds.

"No Way But Forward" takes you there via a set of deeply human accounts of three ordinary young Palestinian men over the past thirty years, including the year following October 7, 2023. Their lives have been riddled with oppressive military constraint, violence, humiliation, and loss. Yet along with their parents, wives, and children, they have persevered in making an honorable life for themselves. These narratives are gripping, instructive, inspiring, tragic, and universally relevant as tales of survival, endurance, and hope.
