Subject: PEACE IN ISRAEL & PALESTINE?
Submitter: Bradley P Holt, Professor, Religion

Message: Dr. Ned Hanauer, a nationally known expert on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, will be speaking at Augsburg on Wednesday, April 5, at 3:30 in the Marshall Room of Christensen Center. His topic will be ?After the Palestinian & Israeli Elections: What Are the Peace Prospects??

Edmund Hanauer is the director of SEARCH for Justice and Equality in Palestine/Israel (SEARCH). He has a BA from Dartmouth College and a Ph.D. in Political Science from American University. His dissertation focused on the relationship of American Jews to the state of Israel.

Before starting SEARCH in 1972, Hanauer taught political science, history, and international relations at Babson College as well as at the University of Maryland?s European division.

In addition to numerous lectures at leading universities and talks to Jewish, Christian, civic, educational, and human rights groups, Hanauer has spoken twice to the Nieman Fellows in Journalism at Harvard and twice to the State Department?s Open Forum of the Secretary of State. His address to the City Club of Cleveland was televised nationally three times by C-SPAN. The City Club talk as well as a speech to the Cambridge Forum were broadcast by radio stations across the US.

Hanauer?s articles on the Arab-Israeli conflict have appeared in 30 major newspapers, and he has been interviewed numerous times on TV and radio, including National Public Radio.

COMMENTS ON NED HANAUER

"Over the years I have found Ned Hanauer to be not only a source of reliable information on the Middle East, but a passionate believer in creating the conditions for social justice in that violence-filled region. His information is always solid and unbiased." - Colman McCarthy, nationally syndicated columnist

"All three of these individuals [Noam Chomsky, Alfred Lilienthal, Elmer Berger] get ?special? mention in The Campaign to Discredit Israel (Washington: The American Israel Public Affairs Committee [AIPAC], 1983). The only other Jewish critic of Zionism who merited a special heading was Edmund Hanauer, the founder of Search for Justice and Equality in Palestine/Israel." - Edward Corrigan, "Jewish Criticism of Zionism," American-Arab Affairs, Winter 1990-1991

"All our listeners remark on what a ?wonderfully balanced? presentation Dr. Hanauer made and how he clarified and summarized a complex set of issues to further their understanding of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict." - Cambridge Forum, Cambridge, Massachusetts
This meeting is sponsored by the John and Alette Quanbeck Lecture Fund
