Hi all,

Sorry for the late notice on this, but there's a lecture at American University tomorrow night.  I won't be able to make it, but you are all encouraged to go hear about this very important topic.

IF YOU NEED A RIDE from campus, send me an email.

IF YOU CAN GIVE A RIDE from campus, also send me an email, with how many people (other than you) can fit in your car.

Best,

Description: Many people claim that U.S. policy regarding the Arab-Israeli conflict has been destructive of our security--and that a change in direction is urgently needed. Echoing many of his predecessors and legions of commentators, President Obama has announced plans to make dealing with the Arab-Israeli conflict a "key diplomatic priority" of his administration.

What kind of policy toward that ongoing conflict is actually in America's interests? What policy can enhance U.S. security? What in fact have been the effects of Washington's policy? Has it been unfair? If so, to whom--the Arab-Palestinian side, or Israel? In a presentation addressing these and other questions, Elan Journo of the Ayn Rand Institute will offer a secular moral case for principled U.S. support of Israel.

Bio: Elan Journo is a resident fellow at the Ayn Rand Center for Individual Rights, focusing on foreign policy issues.
