The Gaza War and Israel/Palestine: Understanding the U.S. Role
Free Public Lecture
Stephen Zunes, Professor of Politics at the University of San Francisco and Torgny Segerstedt Visiting Research Professor at the University of Gothenburg
The United States has been an international outlier regarding the degree of its support for Israel’s war on Gaza despite the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe and growing domestic and international opposition. In this lecture, Professor Stephen Zunes examines the Biden administration’s support for Israel’s military offensive, the historic role the United States has played in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the reasons behind U.S. policy.
Drinks and snacks will be served after the lecture.
