  • "Why Anti-Zionist Israelis do NOT 'recognize the right of the State of Israel to exist as a Jewish state'' by Henry Lowi and Amir Locker-Biletzki
    March 10, 2011 - 7:00pm

    LOCATION CHANGED: HEALTH SCIENCES BUILDING ROOM 240, UWO Campus

     

    Henry Lowi is the first to recognize the undeniable fact of Jewish religious, cultural, and spiritual ties to the Holy Land - Eretz Yisrael, or Palestine. He is the first to recognize the undeniable need to rescue Jewish people from the Holocaust. And the first to recognize the undeniable right of Jewish people to live anywhere - anywhere on this planet - and enjoy human rights. [1]

    But does it follow that he must - as Israel and its allies demand - “recognize Israel as a Jewish state with a Jewish majority”?

    Join IDF veterans Henry Lowi and Amir Locker-Biletzki to discuss the important and contentious issues around Israel as a Jewish state.
