In our May 2025 podcast series recorded in the Holy Land, we had the privilege of sitting with award-winning journalist Gideon Levy, who shared with our group profound truths from his decades of reporting. As a seasoned writer covering Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza, Levy offers a perspective that cannot be ignored. He speaks plainly about what he has witnessed and challenges listeners to look beyond the narratives shaped by commercial Western media. He does not spare his Israeli colleagues, criticizing their silence in the face of colonial realities unfolding at the expense of Palestinians. With conviction, he asks how any of us can live with ourselves if we remain passive in the face of genocide.

The Common Table Podcast UMC is supported by the Creation Justice Team (part of the UNY AC UMC General Board of Global Ministry) and Peace with Justice for Palestine/Israel (also UNY AC UMC). Our focus is on Creation Justice, Creation Care, and the urgent need for peace with justice—recognizing how climate change and war disrupts the health of the Earth and all living things. We seek to prayerfully respect and love the creation we were born into, caring for all that lives.

We invite you to join us for conversations rooted in justice and compassion. Every episode is produced by volunteers, and we publish as often as we are able.

Our mission is to lift awareness, foster education, and encourage faithful action within the human community—in the name of Christ.
