Israel – Palestine Discussion with Leader Dr. Joe Chuman (Members Only)
February 29 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
From Leader Dr. Joe Chuman:
I had the unusual opportunity to visit Israel last week. I traveled with a small group and met with representatives of Israel’s civil society. We also met with academics, journalists, a brother of a man held hostage, and a soldier wounded in Gaza. We also visited a town that was a site of the Hamas massacre.
As many others, I am very disturbed by the massacre of October 7th and the ensuing warfare. I have long believed that journalism provides merely a distillation of the facts. To truly grasp events that are occurring, one needs to be on the ground and get a direct sense of the environment and the people.
I have come back with several conclusions and had experiences that I would like share.
I am planning a discussion with interested members of the Society to discuss what I saw and learned in my trip to Israel.
The discussion will be held on Thursday, February 29th, at 7:00 pm. It will be for members only, in person, and not via Zoom.
If you wish to attend, please register with Maggie at mdetermann@nysec.org in advance.
Many thanks for you interest.
Joe Chuman
