Reflections on Dr. Hermann's Visit


I found this particular image of the wall in Israel-Palestine particularly moving, so I thought I'd share it.

For me, at least, Dr. Hermann's visit to the class was incredibly, incredibly helpful. I feel like I have a much better understanding of the contemporary situation in both Jerusalem and larger Israel-Palestine. I was also impressed by the way that he was able to present multiple viewpoints. I felt like his presentation much more balanced than we often see in the media, as well as in activist circles. I'd love to hear even a fuller history from him!
