When Middle East Politics Invade Campus

Special Guest Speakers: Phyllis Chesler, Andrew Roberts, Gil Troy,
Elliot Chodoff, Salim Mansur, Catherine Chatterley, Richard Cravatts

Moderated by: Jonathan Kay, Managing Editor, National Post

During the month of March, North American university campuses become battlegrounds. Students of all faiths and ethnic origins are exposed to highly-charged political messages, inflammatory speakers, and ugly displays of hostility which threaten any discussion of the Middle East conflict. The atmosphere is toxic, the environment is the direct antithesis of the academic ideals of civil discourse and reasonable debate.

On February 16th, come and hear what students, faculty and international scholars have to say about the events on campus in March, and learn how we can help to stop the madness.
