Screening & Discussion: The Case for Israel: Democracy's Outpost
In The Case for Israel: Democracy's Outpost, Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz presents a vigorous case for Israel - for its basic right to exist, to protect its citizens from terrorism, and to defend its borders from hostile enemies. He engages leading political, judicial and academic leaders from Israel and North America in objective and intelligent discourse on the critical challenges facing Israel and the West.
Following the film, please join Jeff Robins, former US Delegate to the UN Human Rights Commission under President Clinton, in a discussion of the critical issues presented in the film.
