Rich Forer

For his entire life, Richard Forer supported Israeli policy, believing the Jewish State an innocent nation forever eager to make peace with its neighbors. In 2006, he underwent a profound spiritual awakening that led him to write his books, Breakthrough: Transforming Fear into Compassion – A New Perspective on the Israel-Palestine Conflict and Wake Up and Reclaim Your Humanity: Essays on the Israel-Palestine Tragedy. A former member of AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) with orthodox relatives living in settlements in the West Bank, Richard has been to the West Bank a few times as well as to the Gaza Strip in November 2012.
