For the last 26 years, there have been several mantras that have constantly been repeated, over and over again, reflexively and without questioning, that have taken on the aura of certitude and rigidity within certain foreign policy circles. One is that the Israelis are solely responsible for the illegal building in Judea and Samaria. A second is that Israel cannot remain democracy and a Jewish state unless it quickly withdraws from the disputed territories and makes room for a Palestinian state, and a third is that “land for peace” is an excellent, and the only viable, solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
On October 17th, at 11 o’clock a.m. in a Senate office building, EMET will be hosting a panel of renowned experts who will discuss three different aspects of the Israeli-Palestinian dispute.
Here to examine these mantras are:
The Award Winning, New York Times best-Selling Author and humanitarian, Edwin Black, will be discussing “Who is Behind the Illegal Building in Area C?”
The widely popular columnist and international foreign policy expert, former Minister of Congressional Affairs at the Israeli Embassy, Ambassador Yoram Ettinger, will be discussing “The Palestinian Demographic Time Bomb."
And EMET’s own Founder and President, Sarah Stern will be discussing “How has the land for peace formulation been working out, so far?”
