Peter Beinart Lecture

Seattle is excited to host Peter Beinart, one of American Jewry’s preeminent commentators, to address prospects for Israeli-Palestinian peace and increasing divides within Israeli society in the aftermath of this summer’s destructive fighting between Israel and Hamas. Join us for a conversation about how a changing American Jewry relates to a changing Israel and Middle East. "Peter Beinart…raises the tough questions that can't be avoided, and offers a new way forward to achieve Zionism's founding ideals…" – Former US President Bill Clinton Peter Beinart is Associate Professor of Journalism and Political Science at the City University of New York, a Contributor to The Atlantic and National Journal, a Senior Columnist at Haaretz and a Senior Fellow at The New America Foundation.
