Historian Avi Shlaim and Professor of International Relations at Oxford University provided a concise history of the Israel-Palestine conflict. It was an enlightening evening and the discussion and Q&A that followed probed the conflict in further depth, ranging from topics as diverse as multiple perspectives on the issue (Zionist, New Historians), to relations with the US and the possible future for Middle East peace. Thank you Avi for a candid and open discussion on this contentious topic.
