Has the two state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict become an impossibility? Is a “new-state” solution all that is left?
Bernard Avishai has written that “a two-state solution can be preempted by catastrophe, inertia, demagogy, venal leaders, weak leaders — or it can be pushed off to another generation. But it cannot just be ‘over.’”
Rather, it has to be rethought.
Join us for a fascinating discussion with Bernard Avishai, a faculty member at Dartmouth College and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and a frequent contributor to The New Yorker, Harper’s and other venues.
