Joel Beinin, one of the country’s leading authorities on the Middle East, discusses the current dynamics of the Israel-Palestine conflict. Now that the radical Hamas party has won most of what political power there is to be had in Palestine and Ariel Sharon has left the political stage in Israel, will anything change? What would be necessary for there to be any major changes in the situation? How does U.S. military support for Israel and the continuing U.S. occupation of Iraq factor in?
Professor Beinin discusses these questions and many more in a lively discussion with Peninsula Peace and Justice Center director Paul George and the studio audience. This is an illuminating exploration of a region that remains one of the most volatile places on earth.
