Is "Settler" a Bad Word?

Thursday Feb 08, 2018
According to much of the media, the Jewish State is stealing someone else's land and continuously promises a Two State solution that never seems to arrive. On campus, Israel is delegitimized and accused of a growing occupation in the "West Bank". But for most Israelis, Jewish presence in these areas is a natural and organic part of Jewish history - and blocking a future Palestinian state is key for Israeli security. So is Israel doomed to an eternal impasse and Balkanization with its neighbors? Or is there a way forward? Moreover, can the Jewish State survive the attacks on its narrative and legitimacy? Join Rabbi Yishai in Scottsdale AZ for this public lecture.
