This is one of the Spring Lecture Series: Dissent in Zion held by Charles W. Hostler Institute on World Affairs
From the pre-state binationalist Zionists (including Hannah Arendt, Judah Magnes, and Martin Buber), who opposed a Jewish nation-state, to contemporary dissenters, like Anarchists Against the Wall, there has long been an internal tradition of dissent to the prevailing doctrines of Zionism and to Israeli policies, especially the state?s treatment of the Palestinians. This lecture series and accompanying class offer fresh insights into the impulses that have motivated such dissent. The following is a list of prominent outside speakers who will address the class. These events are free and open to the public. All public lectures, except for Lia Tarachansky, will be from 5 to 6:40. The lecture series is funded by the Fred J. Hansen Institute for World Peace.
Mr. Beinart is a leading analyst of US politics and of the American Jewish relationship toward Israel. He is a columnist for Israel?s Haaretz and the Atlantic Magazine and his essays have regularly appeared in Time, The New York Times, The New York Review of Books, and The National Journal. Mr. Beinart was formerly the editor of The New Republic, and a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. He is presently an associate professor of journalism and political science at the City University of New York and is Schwartz Senior Fellow at the New America Foundation. He has published three books, The Good Fight: Why Liberals?and Only Liberals?Can Win the War on Terror and Make America Great Again (2006), The Icarus Syndrome: A History of American Hubris (2010) and The Crisis of Zionism (2012).
