Why There's No Peace in the Middle East with Dr. Vic Lieberman
Sunday, Jul 10 11:00 am to 12:00 pm
This talk with the University of Michigan's Raoul Wallenberg Distinguished University Professor of History and Professor of Asian and Comparative History, Dr. Vic Lieberman, examines the origins and amazing chameleon-like persistence of the Mideast conflict. Why does the struggle -- now over 100 years old -- drag on interminably? Why have all efforts at negotiation failed? Is the two-state solution now dead? What alternative scenarios, if any, are possible? How should American Jews understand the conflict, and what role, if any, should they play? This event is sponsored by the Miriam and Dr. Isaac Barr Israel Education Fund.
