Summary

The entire Gaza Strip has become "one of the most dangerous places in the world," according to the UN Agency providing humanitarian aid. This weekend in London, a vigil was held outside Downing Street to demonstrate that both Israelis and Palestinians are suffering and pleading for an end to the cycle of violence. One of the main proponents of this peace movement is Robi Damelin, whose son David was killed by a Palestinian sniper in 2002. Instead of being consumed by hate and revenge, she devotes her life towards peace between Israelis and Palestinians. Robi joins Christiane in the studio. Also on today's show: Tom Hanks and Christopher Riley discuss their new, immersive documentary The Moonwalkers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
