Join us this Friday, November 9 at 6:30pm in UMC Rooms 382-386 for "Water, Conflict and Coexistence in Israel/Palestine."
This is part of the "Israel-Palestine: Two People, One Land" program. Conducted by Barbara Petzen, Director of Middle East Connections, this pre-workshop is designed for educators -- middle and high school teachers -- and is open to the public, anyone who is interested in learning more about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Barbara Petzen will discuss the conflict over water resources and their control and allocation amongst Israel and Palestine and their neighbors and examine political, humanitarian, and environmental aspects of these questions, with special attention to the Jordan River valley and the Dead Sea, the status of the region's aquifers, and the rise of large-scale, export-oriented agriculture. This event is free and open to the public.
