Bridging the Gap: A Panel Discussion

Fostering Respectful Dialogue on Israel-Palestine

A group of York University and University of Toronto students and alumni—both Palestinian/Arab/Muslim and Israeli/Jewish—who want to change the way that the conversation about Israel/Palestine is happening on campuses will join us at Beth Tzedec for a panel discussion led by Dr. Randal Schnoor.

While acknowledging the significant power imbalance at play, the students believe that, as fellow students who have a connection to this land, all deserve human dignity and an honest conversation. They have established an Israel/Palestine Student Dialogue Group for the purpose sharing multiple perspectives in a respectful manner.

Dr. Randal Schnoor (PhD), a sociologist, specializes in the study of contemporary Jewish Life in North America. For the last six years he has been teaching a course at York University entitled “Antisemitism and Islamophobia in Canada.” In 2023 he re-activated the Bridging the Gap Israel-Palestine student dialogue group on campus.
