Welcome to If You Were In Charge, a podcast with renowned global peace strategist Sanam Naraghi Anderlini. In each episode, we invite global thought leaders to share the radical solutions they would implement if given unlimited political and financial power. In this sixth episode, Sanam speaks with Rabbi Hanan Schlesinger about the escalating violence by Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. How to create a lasting peace in the region and the hard road to achieving that goal. From his bio on www.friendsofroots.net - Shorashim/Judur/Roots – A Local Palestinian Israeli Initiative for  Understanding, Nonviolence and Transformation 'Hanan is an Orthodox rabbi and teacher who has been profoundly transformed by his encounters with Palestinians and the Palestinian People beginning in late 2013. As he never tires of saying, he is now healing from the hubris of exclusivity with which he was afflicted all of his adult life. Today he knows that there are two Peoples in the Holy Land, and that each has their own story. Indeed the Land itself bears two identities – the Land of Israel is also the Land of Palestine.' Next week, we have our second episode from the Middle East, focusing on the movement fighting for Palestinian access to higher education.
