Peaceful Co-Existence Among Israelis and Palestinians | "What do we owe each other?" ND Forum '24-25
The Notre Dame Forum brought together Israelis, Palestinians, and others who care deeply about the region and seek to break through the status quo and overcome division and polarization for a conversation on November 11, 2024.Supported by the work of the OneVoice Movement, these peacemakers advocated for a shared future that unlocks the full potential of both peoples. They also seek to empower voices that foster depolarization in discourse about the region in the United States in order to build support for the notion that Israeli-Palestinian coexistence is possible.Speakers include:Nidal Foqaha - Director General, Palestinian Peace Coalition
Ezzeldeen Masri - Chief Field Officer, PeaceWorks Foundation and OneVoice Movement
Tehila Wenger - Deputy Director, The Geneva Initiative
and
Lisa Schirch - Richard G. Starmann, Sr. Professor of the Practice of Peace Studies, Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies, Keough School of Global Affairs, University of Notre DameSince its establishment in 2005, each year the Notre Dame Forum invites campus-wide dialogue about issues of importance to the University, the nation, and the larger world. The 2024-25 Forum focuses on the theme, "What Do We Owe Each Other?"
