Event Details
Palestinian thinking about a two-state solution has shifted over time. What in 1948 was
considered a nightmare is now viewed as a golden dream. Despite this change, a number
of factors have made serious discussion about a two-state solution impossible. These
include geopolitics among Palestinians and in the Middle East, and particularly the Arab
Spring; the socio-economic environment in Europe; and the U.S.’s modified and
mitigated political role vis-à-vis the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Dr. Mohammed Wattad will explore the impact these issues are having on delaying the
inevitability of a two-state solution to resolving this century-old conflict.
This event is hosted by the Rose Project Jewish Federation & Family Services and Hillel Orange County.
