For three decades, a pervasive, unspoken fear of civil war has stalemated Israeli politics. Almost overnight, that fear is now very much out in the open – civil war is now openly discussed.  How did this happen, and what might it mean?

Speakers include:

Daniel Bertrand Monk, Department of Peace and Conflict Studies, Colgate University

Daniel J. Levine, Department of Political Science, University of Alabama

Pizza and Soda will be served.

For background, see their essay The Specter of Civil War in Israel.

This event is part of the “Tuscaloosa Take on the World” event series (please contact ttw@ua.edu for more information) and sponsored by the Department of Political Science.

Thanks to the Aronov Chair for Jewish Studies and the Chambers Chair in Middle Eastern Studies at The University of Alabama and the George and Myra Cooley Chair in Peace & Conflict Studies at Colgate University.
