Palestinian Citizens of Israel: Stakeholders in Limbo? with Dr. Shibley Telhami and Dr. Asad Ghanem
Wednesday, 2 December 2009
12:30 - 2:00 p.m.
The Palestine Center
[LIVE WEBCAST of the event will be available starting at 1 PM on this blog]
If you want to attend this in Washington, DC, please RSVP.
Treated as second-class citizens in Israel and left out of Palestinian national representative structures, this population continues to grow in number and political dynamism. What do the Palestinian citizens of Israel think about a negotiated solution to the conflict, the Right of Return, and their future status? How can/should this constituency participate in the decision making processes that will ultimately provide an answer to their national question? The speakers will explore these questions with a presentation of recently conducted public opinion data, commentary and analysis.
