SUMMARY:Israel - Palestine Discussion with Leader Dr. Joe Chuman (Members Only)
DESCRIPTION:From Leader Dr. Joe Chuman: \nI 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. \nAs 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. \nI have come back with several conclusions and had experiences that I would like share. \nI am planning a discussion with interested members of the Society to discuss what I saw and learned in my trip to Israel. \nThe discussion will be held on Thursday\, February 29th\, at 7:00 pm. It will be for members only\, in person\, and not via Zoom. \nIf you wish to attend\, please register with Maggie at mdetermann@nysec.org in advance. \nMany thanks for you interest. \nJoe Chuman
