Can We Talk About Israel? Daniel Sokatch in Conversation with Jodi Rudoren

Hosted By: Sixth & I

As an expert who understands both sides of one of the world’s most complex and controversial conflicts, New Israel Fund CEO Daniel Sokatch dives into why so many people feel so strongly about Israel and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict without actually understanding it very well in Can We Talk About Israel? Sokatch will be in conversation with Jodi Rudoren, the editor-in-chief of the Forward.
