Reflections on the Annapolis Peace Conference
The Annapolis peace conference is being held to find a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict with the ultimate goal of creating a two-state solution. The conference will be held in Annapolis, Maryland during the last week of November 2007. U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will host the meeting and both Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert are expected to attend.
While most people hope for constructive results, the conference has been preceded by worries and doubts of its potential success. The outcome, “positive” or “negative”, will surely provide much to discuss. As there are speculations about the conference actually taking place, in case it does not, that will be a major topic as well.
In order to promote dialogue and express various ideas, Students for Peace and the Boston University Palestinian- Israeli Peace Alliance are hosting an event on December 2, 2007 to foster communication about the conference and its results. The event will open with a short presentation by Boston University International Relations Professor Charles Dunbar, about the conference.
What: Reflections on the Annapolis Peace Conference
Where: The Democracy Center - 45 Mt. Auburn Cambridge MA 02138
When: Sunday Dec. 2nd from 6-9pm
Afterwards, the floor will open up to you, the participants, so that you can engage in dialogue with others and voice your opinion in an intellectually stimulating setting. The main purpose is for today’s students, the future leaders, to hear and share their opinions with other; especially with those who have different perspectives, are from different backgrounds and have various political points of view. ***There will be no political agenda promoted or presented and everything is off the record so feel free to say anything.
After the open dialogue portion there will be Middle-Eastern cuisine and entertainment by the ABAN duo (Arab and Jewish musicians) to allow smaller group conversation.
Co-sponsors to date: ARABSA - BU Arab Student Association, MITSI - MIT Students for Israel, PJA – Harvard Progressive Jewish Alliance.
