11 Feb The Palestinian Minority in Israel: Between Coexistence and Conflict
Dov Waxman (Political Science, CUNY)
Monday, February 11 / 8:00 PM

One in five citizens of Israel is Palestinian. What does this mean for Israel’s future as a Jewish state and for the resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? This talk tackles these crucial questions and examines the status of Israel’s Palestinian minority and current Jewish-Arab relations in the country.
