Ithaca College

Tuesday, November 10th, 8pm in Textor Hall 102

On Tuesday, November 10th Israeli independent thinker, journalist, author, and speaker Yossi Klein Halevi will be at Ithaca College.  He will speak at 8pm in Textor Hall 102.  Hillel and many campus departments are sponsoring this event.  As a well-informed realist, he will offer some surprising and nuanced views on Israel, the Palestinians, and life in the Middle East.

Halevi is a contributing editor and Israel correspondent for the New Republic and has written regularly on the op-ed pages of all the major US newspapers.  He has published two highly acclaimed books, Memoirs of a Jewish Extremist (1995) and At the Entrance to the Garden of Eden: A Jew’s Search for God with Christians and Muslims in the Holy Land (2001).  He is currently a senior fellow at the Shalem Center, a think tank in Jerusalem.  He has been active in many Mid-East reconciliation efforts.  He chairs Open House, an Arab-Jewish educational project in the mixed working-class town of Ramle, and he was a founder and board member of the now-defunct Israeli-Palestinian Media Forum, which brought together journalists from both communities.

Textor 102 seats 240, so come early to get one if you want to hear this extraordinarily thoughtful speaker and journalist.
