When:
5:00 - 6:30 pm

Gershom Gorenberg will describe how Israel actually entangled itself in settling the occupied territories and point to the lessons for policy and peacemaking.
Gershom Gorenberg is Senior Correspondent for The American Prospect and Former Associate Editor of The Jerusalem Report. He is the author of The Accidental Empire: Israel and the Birth of the Settlements, 1967-1977 (Times Books).

An award winning foreign correspondent who has reported from Warsaw , Rome , Hong Kong , Washington , Bonn and Berlin, he served two tours as Moscow bureau chief. After only fourteen months, his first tour was cut short in 1982 by the Soviet authorities who, angered by his enterprising reporting on a broad range of sensitive topics, expelled him “for impermissible methods of journalistic activities.” He served his second tour in the mid-1990s, and has visited Moscow regularly since then.
