    Queen’s Israel on Campus was thrilled to host Dr. David Tal, Israeli historian, professor and the Kahanoff Chair in Israeli Studies at the University of Calgary for a insightful lecture Tuesday November 10. About 50 students from both ends of the political spectrum were in attendance to hear Dr. Tal’s balanced and thought provoking summary of the Arab/Israeli conflict. After the event, Dr Tal then went for coffee with members of both Israel on Campus and Students for Palestinian Human Rights, were the students had the opportunity to discuss current issue relating to the conflict and facilitated a discussion between the two opposing campus groups that was greatly appreciated by all. Dr. Tal’s knowledge and sensitivity have potentially opened the door to a new dialogue on Queen’s campus that we will look to build on. The event was a enormous success and Queen’s Israel on Campus feels privileged to have had such a dynamic speaker on campus.
