ACMCU, the Center for Contemporary Arab Studies, and the Georgetown University MENA Forum invite you to a conversation with journalist and author Peter Beinart:

On Saturday, October 7 Hamas militants launched the most devastating attack on Israel since the 1973 Arab-Israeli War. This attack elicited an Israeli response that has led to mass civilian casualties in Gaza. Power, Electricity, Water, and Medicine have been blocked from entering Gaza, a territory which has been under blockade for 16 years. This historic moment will be discussed by Peter Beinart, a journalist, professor, and political commentator who has written three books, including The Crisis of Zionism.
