In May, I posted a blog entitled “Talking Points for College Students Concerning Palestinian Protests.” College and University students are now preparing to start classes in the coming weeks and they are likely going to encounter either demonstrations on their campuses on behalf of Palestinians in Gaza and against Israel or fellow students who have an incomplete understanding of the Hamas-Israel War and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

In addition, in next week’s Democratic National Convention, Palestinian protestors and their supporters are planning mass protests outside the convention hall. Vice-President Kamala Harris has already encountered and responded to similar protests in her campaign.

I have written at some length about the Hamas-Israel War and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the republishing of my 2019 volume Why Israel and its Future Matters – Letters of a Liberal Rabbi to his Children and the Next Generation (republished after October 7 and available on Amazon) and in my recently published Memoir From the West to the East – A Memoir of a Liberal American Rabbi (available from the publisher at https://westofwestcenter.com/product/from-the-west-to-the-east/

I offer once again those talking points for you to share with your college age children and grandchildren and, for that matter, with anyone else you think might benefit from what I have written. You can access that blog here:
