Recent events in Gaza, East Jerusalem, the West Bank and in cities throughout Israel properforced many of us to ponder the question, how did we come to this? What led to this horrific replay of rockets and bombs, a ceasefire agreement and untold destruction, devastation and trauma? We invite you to join us for a compelling exploratory conversation based on Dr. Rashid Khalidi’s analysis of Zionism, anti-Semitism, and the competing national aspirations of Palestinians and Jews. Our springboard for discussion will be segments of his in-depth and provocative interview on NPR’s podcast “Throughline.” Dr. Khalidi is Edward Said Professor of Modern Arab Studies and Director of the Middle East Institute of Columbia's School of International and Public Affairs.
