The current war in the Holy Land risks, as US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has warned, “turning a tactical victory into a strategic defeat”. Questions we’ll address are: what are the antecedents of this unfolding tragedy; what are the political dynamics within Israel and Palestine; what are the responsibilities of allied countries (on both sides) and the world community as a whole? Is the “two-state solution” still viable? Is there a path forward? Course material and reading list sources will include a wide range of perspectives. Q&A where all opinions (respectfully offered) will be welcome.
