BRIDGING THE GAP: Student Panel Discussion on Israel/Palestine

BRIDGING THE GAP
ISRAEL/PALESTINE STUDENT PANEL DISCUSSION

We are a group of York University students and alumni, both Palestinian/Arab and Israeli/Jewish, who want to change the way the conversation about Israel/Palestine is happening at York University. We believe that, as fellow students who have a connection to this land, we all deserve human dignity and an honest conversation. We have established an Israel/Palestine student dialogue group on campus for the purpose of sharing multiple perspectives in a respectful manner.

York University Professor Randal Schnoor (Religious Studies) will moderate a public panel discussion with outstanding student leaders of BRIDGING THE GAP to explore Israeli and Palestinian views of the current situation in Israel/Palestine, student motivations for starting this dialogue group, views on the current campus climate, challenges and opportunities for dialogue. A question and discussion period with the audience will follow. Come to learn more about this new and important initiative at our university.
