Talking About Israel-Palestine: With Light, Not Heat
September 23, 2024
6:30pm
McKenna Leadership Centre
Join Dr. Jamie Levin in conversation with authors Raja Khouri and Dr. Jeffrey Wilkinson as they discuss themes from their book The Wall Between: What Jews and Palestinians Don’t Want to Know About Each Other. They argue that a wall exists between Jewish and Palestinian communities in the Diaspora; distrust, enmity, and hate are common currencies. These manifest at university campuses, schools and school boards, at political events, on social media, and in academic circles. For Jews, Israel must exist; for Palestinians, the historic injustice being committed since 1948 must be reversed. Are these incommensurate? Is there room for compromise? Join us as Raja and Jeffrey begin the process of dismantling the metaphorical wall between them.
