East-Jerusalemite Palestinian Students at the Hebrew University

Israel Peace Alternatives and Rabbi Greg Wolfe are pleased to present Dr. Adar Cohen, speaking on “East-Jerusalemite Palestinian Students at the Hebrew University: Are we approaching a political change in Jerusalem?”

In recent years, the phenomenon of East Jerusalem Palestinians studying at the Hebrew University has greatly expanded. Until recently, the majority of the Palestinian population would have treated them as crossing the lines and cooperating with the occupation, but the expansion of this trend to hundreds of students a year reflects a change in Palestinian public opinion and also in the action of the Israeli authorities. In this presentation, Dr. Cohen will talk about a unique program opened at the University for the Training of Palestinian Hebrew Teachers. This unique case reflects the complexity of the situation in Jerusalem, along with dramatic changes occurring in recent years.
