"Israel & Palestine: War, Forever War, or Prospects for Peace?" with Dahlia Scheindlin
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is at its lowest, most violent point in its history. What has the Israeli government hoped to attain and is it striving to end or continue the war? Palestinians have suffered existential destruction, but can the political realities create opportunities for a breakthrough towards independence through a Palestinian state? What can the US do? An analysis of politics and policy, past and future, for the Middle East conflict.
Dr. Dahlia Scheindlin (PhD, Tel Aviv University) is a political scientist, a public opinion expert, a political consultant, a policy fellow at The Century Foundation, a regular columnist at Haaretz (English), and a foregin affairs analyst on the BBC television program Context.
