Details: Jewish Currents Editor at Large Peter Beinart will be joined by Mahmoud Muna, Yudith Oppenheimer, and Diala Shamas to discuss the current moment in Jerusalem, its long and fraught history, and what may lie in its future.

Israeli settlers are forcibly removing Palestinians from their homes in the neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah. A far-right Israeli Knesset member has moved his office into the embattled community, while members of the Knesset’s Joint List party have joined Palestinian residents of Sheikh Jarrah in longrunning efforts to protect their community. These tensions are escalating as Jerusalem Day, a historical flashpoint for violence, approaches this weekend.

Join this discussion of the current moment in Jerusalem, its long and fraught history, and what may lie in its future.
