  - Were Israel’s Actions…
    
    Live NYC Event In the year since the beginning of the conflict between Israel and Hamas, the question of proportionality in response to October 7th has taken center stage. Both sides have reported high death tolls, the risk of famine and disease is growing, over a hundred hostages of various nationalities remain in Gaza, and ceasefire proposals are ongoing with no end in sight. Those who support Israel’s response argue that Israel has the right to defend itself like any country under attack; it needs to do all it can to bring the hostages home and prevent Hamas from posing any future threat. However, critics of Israel’s response contend that it has led to a humanitarian crisis, failed to protect Palestinian civilians, and jeopardized long-term peace in the Middle East. With this critical background, we debate the question: Were Israel’s Actions in the Gaza War Justified? Join us in person or virtually on Saturday, September 21st. *Exact venue details will be provided to ticket holders after purchase on the day of the event. Security protocols will be strictly enforced.
