More than 75 years of conflict between Israel and the Palestinians have seen periodic outbreaks of hostilities and efforts to bring peace based on a two-state solution. More recently, on 7th October 2023, the Palestinian group Hamas, officially designated a terrorist group by many countries including Israel, the United States, the European Union, and the United Kingdom, commenced an armed assault against Israel.

In this discussion, Dr Yaron Brook provides a new perspective on the moral dimensions of the Israel-Hamas war. Brook will delved into the historical context, political intricacies, and human rights considerations that underpin this longstanding conflict. From civilian deaths to military tactics, from international law to ethical dilemmas, Brook explains where Israel and Palestine stand on the moral compass. Whether you’re well-versed in the conflict or seeking to broaden your understanding, this discussion promises to challenge assumptions and inspire critical reflection on one of the most contentious issues of our time.
