"Israel Then and Now" with Global Policy Expert - Virtual
 
 


Those who follow the Israeli-Palestinian conflict may be surprised to find out how much the parties have used not just violence, but also the law as a weapon against each other and as a means of influencing international opinion.  Many of the legal arguments today, especially regarding the legality of the November 1917 Balfour Declaration and the ownership of the Wailing Wall, trace their roots to three dramatic and largely forgotten courtroom-style trials in Jerusalem, pitting Arabs against Jews during the 1920s and 1930s. 

Join us May 6 at 2:30 pm for a presentation by Steven E. Zipperstein, author of the newly-released book "Law and the Arab-Israeli Conflict: The Trials of Palestine" (Routledge 2020).  Zipperstein, who spoke to us last week about developments in Israel during March and April 2020, will discuss how Jews and Arabs used the law during those trials nearly a century ago, how they continue making similar legal arguments today, and how in 1929 one prominent Arab made a secret and stunning settlement offer to sell the Wailing Wall to the Jews for £100,000.
