DEVELOPMENTS AFFECTING ISRAEL AND THE JEWISH DIASPORA

The pace of developments affecting Israel and Jews in the Diaspora has accelerated in recent months:

  • Resurgent Anti-Semitism resulting in attacks over the Hanukkah season
  • Trump’s peace plan
  • Qassem Suleimani’s assassination
  • The effect of Corbyn-esque Anti-Semitism in the UK general election
  • Anti-Semitic attacks in New York during Hanukkah season.

Join us for a briefing and discussion where we consider the following questions (among others):

  • Has Corbyn-esque anti-semitism infected the NZ Labour party and the American Democratic party?
  • Are the attacks in New York evidence that anti-Semitism is gaining momentum in the African-American community?
  • How might Israel’s security be affected following the assassination of Iranian General, Qassem Suleimani?
  • What is the Trump peace plan and its likely consequences?

Facilitated by Michael Thomas, Kate Macpherson, Rebecca Marchand and Tony Kan.

Date and time:  Sunday, February 23, 2pm.

Venue:  Hao Room, Halswell Centre, 341 Halswell Rd.

Admission:  Please bring a plate of finger food (no seafood or pork-based products please).
