On Saturday, December 27, Israel began its onslaught against the 1.5 million besieged and imprisoned Palestinians in the Gaza Strip--one of the most densely populated areas in the world. This attack has been the deadliest since Israel's occupation of Gaza in 1967, with more than 700 Palestinians killed and thousands injured by intense bombardment from air, land and sea. One week later, on January 3rd, Israel began an invasion. The following speakers will discuss the reasons and ramifications of the most recent Israeli campaign: - John J. Mearsheimer is the Wendell Harrison Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago, and the co-author of 'The Israel Lobby and US Foreign Policy', a New York Times Best Seller. - Ali Abunimah is a writer, commentator, and author of 'One Country: A Bold Proposal to end the Israeli-Palestinian Impasse', and co-founder of the website http://electronicintifada.net. - Norman G. Finkelstein is a scholar of political theory and the Israel-Palestine conflict. He is the author of five books including 'Image and Reality of the Israel-Palestine Conflict", and most recently, "Beyond Chutzpah: On the misuse of anti-Semitism and the abuse of history." The panel will begin at 5:30 PM, on January 8th, and will be moderated by Mezna Qato, a DPhil candidate in Palestinian history at the University of Oxford, and Chicago alum."
