Jewish American Relationship with Israel at the Crossroads | The New School

- Leading commentators on the Israel/Palestine conflict, together span three generations of struggle for a just peace in the Middle East. In this public forum at The New School (www.newschool.edu), they discuss the possibility that increasing awareness of the conflict among the American Jewish community is creating a more critical stance towards Israel. Such a separation between traditional allies could give new impetus to resolving a conflict that has, for many years, seemed intractable.
Participants include:
Anna Baltzer
Norman G. Finkelstein
Adam Shatz

I could listen to Norman all day long , a truly gifted teacher , and a brilliant mind , thanks to all who kindly helped create and share this most informative debate
Anna is right the palestinians have to be heard through palestinian voices, jewish support for palestine is necessary but the Palestinians have to speak , be heard and be respected not be thought of as "lesser" in any way then the voices of intellectual jews. Its their story and they should be telling it themselves as well as other people.
I support the solution Dr Ilan Pappe proposes. You may review his stance in a RUclips clip entitled. "The False Paradigm of Peace: Revisiting the Palestine Question". I believe what he states in many of his lectures; "What happened in 1948 was a crime". From where I see it, "zionism" is racism, bigotry and/or fascism.

Thank you for sharing
WELDONE VERY GOOD GOD BLESS
I imagine it may be somewhat like Morocco a safe place for travelers to visit and a very tolerant place over all. Palestinians are mostly Christians and Muslims with Druze and Samaritan minorities and they all get along just fine. As far as rights I don't know what they will be but they have the right to make it what it will be for themselves. It will probably be like before 1947 when both the so called "Arab" (indigenous) population and Jewish newcomers got on famously.
when was this recorded?
The recourse to free trials and rule of law isn't total, particularly for non-Jewish Israelis. Nor are Israel's gay rights total.
I'm Jewish and while I support the right to a state for Jews, I don't agree with alot of the Israeli policies. I think the lobbyist snakehold on Washington has been the worst thing for American policitcs, which has been a poisonous problematic issue for the political process. The fact is that the biggest supporters in the Israel lobby are the evangelical movement, and not so much American Jews, even though it produces anti-semitic backlash.
I am curious though what the Arab world thinks of the fact that there are Jews open to dialogue, or are they of the prejudice that no discussion is possible. I think we also must note that the morals and relativism makes the Middle East, quite different than the pretenses of American (Western) ideas. [IE: Arab views that kindness is seen as a sign of weakness, not of a sign of gratitude due to a different world view]
Sorry, I missed that. I was too busy laughing at all the dead people in Syria who said they wanted peace and Israel didn't.
