Ari Shavit in the Triangle
UNC (11/5 @ 7:30 pm)
Join us in welcoming Ari Shavit, a leading Israeli columnist and author of critically-acclaimed, New York Times bestseller My Promised Land: The Triumph and Tragedy of Israel.
A member of the editorial board of Israeli newspaper Haaretz, and a prominent commentator on Israeli public television, Shavit has become one of the strongest voices in the nation's public arena. He challenges the dogmas of both Right and Left with his unique insights into the roles of Israel and Zionism in the 21st century.
Shavit hopes that his presentation "will promote a deeper, better-informed and far more balanced discussion of Israel and the Middle East. As the great American democracy and the frontier Israeli democracy face dramatic challenges, we should all be engaged in a profound, free and civilized discussion of the past, present and future of the Promised Land."
For more information, visit Ari Shavit at UNC.
