A virtual presentation by Dr. Marc Dollinger
The event is co-sponsored by Temple Solel
About The Event:
One of the thorniest questions in contemporary American Jewish life, the boundaries between anti-Israelism, anti-Zionism, and antisemitism are now the subject of university policy debates as well as proposed state and federal action. This presentation offers historical background on each category, outlining the points of debate in this highly contentious subject.
