Frank Romano cited by TRT World (TV worldwide) in article- “Standing up Against Genocide: Turkey Joining ICJ Case vs Israel”
To read it, cut and paste the following link into your browser and click on it:
The article cites Romano, who says:
“Turkey aims to strengthen South Africa’s case with this step. Nicaragua and Colombia have previously tried to intervene in the same case with separate applications, but the court is yet to make a judgement on their request. The benefit of the intervention of Turkey and other nations in the South African case is that it can provide more updated evidence of violations by Israel of the Genocide Convention,” says French-American lawyer Frank Romano.
“It can also request a separate hearing before the ICJ judges, so that they can, in viewing more evidence of Israeli violations, be inclined to order more provisional measures, such as ordering a ceasefire and/or ordering Israel to give an accounting every week that complies with the ICJ orders. It can inspire other members, such as members of the Organisation of Islamic Countries, to join the South Africa case. That would enhance the South African case.” adds Romano.

November 13, 2022
Dr. Frank Romano will discuss the fifth edition of ‘Love And Terror In the Middle East’
A Middle East peace activist and author will hold an event focused on a new edition of his book from 7 to 8 p.m. Monday, Nov. 14, at Bloomsbury Books, 290 E. Main St., Ashland, according to a news release.
Dr. Frank Romano, whose efforts are primarily focused on Israel and Palestine, will speak about the fifth edition of “Love And Terror In The Middle East.”
The book “dramatically captures my efforts to promote understanding and cooperation between Jews, Muslims and Christians,” Romano said in the release. “I’ve been harassed/arrested by the Palestinian police, harassed/arrested by Israeli soldiers and attacked by Israeli settlers.”
The fifth edition also includes a new chapter chronicling Romano’s experiences in 2018 attempting to block Israeli forces from demolishing a village in the West Bank. A USA Today story says Romano was arrested for his efforts, imprisoned in Jerusalem, and later deported to France, where he was a professor at the University of Paris.
The first two people to arrive at the book discussion will receive a free signed copy. Free refreshments will also be available.

BONHOEFFER: LAST DAYS to Return to St. John’s Lutheran Church in April
The cast includes Frank Romano, Emily Pazik, Trevor Crane, Dillon Sibilla, Rick Reid, Rich Evans, Shelby O’Brien, Benjamin Danielsson, Doug Powers and Don Hampton.
By: Chloe RabinowitzFeb. 13, 2023
Bonhoeffer -Last Days is back at St. John’s Lutheran Church. This play covers he last few days of the life of German dissident theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Bonhoeffer had previously stood up to the Nazis and been told to stop giving public lectures. He did not and was arrested. After several months in prison, a letter was found by the Gestapo tying him into a plot to have Adolf Hitler assassinated and was moved to Flossenburg Maximum Security Prison and condemned to death by hanging.
The theatrical production was bought to the stage by renowned director ad co-producer Alan Baxter. It is an extremely important work because it addresses current and provocative themes such as the present world fascination and support of fascism and far-right politics, the rising racism against ethnic groups manifested by attacks against them, the police brutality of African Americans and the worldwide rise of antisemitism.
The cast includes Frank Romano, Emily Pazik, Trevor Crane, Dillon Sibilla, Rick Reid, Rich Evans, Shelby O’Brien, Benjamin Danielsson, Doug Powers and Don Hampton.
It will run at Saint John’s Lutheran Church on 81 Christopher Street on April 20, 21, 22, 28 and 29 at 8pm and April 23 at 3pm. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased at the door or with the link below. More information about the play can be found here as well. https://bonhoefferlastdays.wordpress.com/

Grassroots Actions are Key for Peace in the Holy Land
I sincerely believe that one of the keys to peace in the Middle is through grassroots efforts to organized interfaith dialogues, to bring people together when politicians, many religious leaders tend to tear them apart chasing their silver linings. The success of these efforts is directly proportional to the results of the dialogues which are designed to open up people’s hearts to each other, to help them overcome years of negative programming derived from the fear and hate exacerbated by ignorance of each other’s culture and religion. To illustrate that, I use an example of a typical interfaith dialogue I lead that could take place either in Israel or in the West Bank:
