Extremist Violence in the West Bank / Judea and Samaria: Understanding the Challenge
Recent incidents of extremist violence by Jews in Judea and Samaria have sparked intense debate in Israel and abroad. Jewish community leaders in North America are frequently asked to respond, but it is difficult to know the facts and to separate this issue from the libels and exaggerations regularly seen in the media regarding events in Israel.
Join leading Israeli journalist Amit Segal and former head of the Shin Bet Research Unit Neomi Neumann for a timely discussion of what is happening on the ground and why it matters.
Drawing on perspectives from Israeli politics, public opinion and the security establishment, Amit and Neomi will examine the facts, competing narratives, the impact on Israeli-Palestinian relations, and the risks of further escalation. This conversation will provide North American Jewish leaders and supporters of Israel with important context for understanding an issue that is increasingly shaping international discourse about Israel and the future of Judea and Samaria.
