Friday, November 15, 11:15am-12:45pm, Thompson Library [Rm. 165], 1858 Neil Ave.

Considering the current state of affairs, is a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict still possible? If so, what moral considerations bear on whether stakeholders should favor it? If not, what alternative options are available for pursuing peace, and how should we evaluate those options? In this Forum, Dr. Ian Lustick (University of Pennsylvania) and Dr. Hussein Ibish (Arab Gulf States Institute) will present differing perspectives on these questions.
