[WCUSP] The Two-State Solution: Still Possible?, May 15 Friends Center

The Two-State Solution: Still Possible?

May 15, 2007 | 7 - 9 p.m.

Friends Center, 1501 Cherry Street, Philadelphia

 

As we near the 40th anniversary of the Israeli military occupation of
Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, there is still hope
that a peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict can be
reached. For the past two decades the "two-state solution" has become
and remains the international consensus framework for a solution to the
conflict. Yet, in recent years questions have been raised as to whether
this proposal is still feasible after 40 years of military occupation. 

 

Please join the American Friends Service Committee for an evening of
discussion of this important question. 

 

Speakers:
