A Way Forward?
Time: 07 Mar 2010 - 8:30 pm
Contributors: Shlomo Ben-Ami, Francesca Klug,
Notes: The relationship between Israel and the Diaspora has never been as complex. While a peaceful solution remains as elusive as ever, the debate rages on, polarised between those offering unconditional support and those labelled ‘self-hating Jews’ for their criticism of Israeli government policy.

Into this landscape of dogma and unshifting political realities, a new American organisation, J Street, has emerged to offer a third way - supportive but not sycophantic.

Daniel Levy, one of its advisors, will be in conversation with former Israeli Foreign Minister, Shlomo Ben-Ami, who has long been committed to finding a path to peace with the Palestinians, and with Francesca Klug, LSE professor and Director of the Human Rights Futures project, which explores and analyses the future direction of human rights discourse. They share with us their assessment of the present situation and their thoughts on what lies ahead.
