This morning we want to take a look at the changing attitudes concerning the Palestinian-Israeli struggle reflected in various segments of the population. There is much to be pessimistic about concerning this issue, but increasingly we are seeing shifting opinions finding expression throughout our society and perhaps some data that can give us a bit of an optimistic take on where we are going on this most complex issue. This morning we have Josh Ruebner of the US Campaign to end the Israeli Occupation, and Columbia University Professor, Rashid Khalidi look at some polling information that give us actual data on how attitudes are indeed shifting on the Palestinian issue. This analysis was presented at a conference titled Capitalizing on Changing Sentiment toward Israeli Aggression, sponsored by American Muslims for Palestine in Chicago, November of 2014.
First up is Josh Ruebner, Policy Director of the US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation. Next is Rashid Khalidi, Professor of History at Columbia University.
