An audience of more than a hundred students, faculty, and staff gathered in the Corcoran Commons Heights Room on February 22 to hear a panel discussion on relations between Israel and the United States. Speaking were, from left, Hussein Ibish, a senior fellow at the nonprofit American Task Force on Palestine, which supports a two-state solution for the region; Shai Feldman, director of the Crown Center for Middle East Studies at Brandeis University; and Aaron David Miller (at rear), a former state department analyst and negotiator, now a public policy fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.
The event was sponsored by the University’s Islamic civilizations and societies program, the Clough Center for the Study of Constitutional Democracy, the College of Arts and Sciences, and the department of political science. Other sponsors included the Jewish studies program, the Arab Students Association, Al-Noor, the University’s undergraduate journal of Middle Eastern and Islamic studies, the Boston College Coalition for Israel, the Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies Student Association, and Hillel of Boston College.
