A sign at the entrance of a family farm near Bethlehem reads “We refuse to be enemies.” The farm belongs to Daoud Nassar, a Palestinian Christian who operates a peace center there known as the Tent of Nations that has welcomed Christians, Jews and Muslims from all over the world. Although his family has farmed the land since the Ottoman era, he has battled in the courts for over 20 years to keep it from being confiscated by the Israeli government.
