Dear Readers:

Can American Jews have honest dialogue about Israel and its domestic and foreign policies, especially as a peace process unfolds and bombs continue to fall on Israel? Can we have polite dialogue about U.S. policy in the Middle East? Those questions and others will be explored in a community-wide Siegal College event on Wed. evening, Oct. 20, co-sponsored by the Cleveland Jewish News.
Political commentator Peter Beinart and Middle East peace negotiator Aaron David Miller are among panelists for the event, titled “An argument for heaven’s sake: Exploring American Jews’ attitudes towards Israel, Zionism, and Middle East peace.”

The CJN is soliciting your opinions on these topics, some of which will be published in advance of the forum. Click here for details on the program and how to submit your comments.
