Carlo Strenger -The Politics of Israel, Terrorism, & Pathways to Peace
March 22, 2013 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm
The John Jay Center on Terrorism will host a seminar on Friday, March 22, from 3:00pm to 5:00pm in Room 964 of the new building of John Jay College. Carlo Strenger will speak on the topic The Politics of Israel, Terrorism, and Pathways to Peace. Strenger is a well-known psychologist, and psychoanalyst who has been publicly involved in Israeli politics and culture since the late 1990s. For years he had a weekly radio talk show, and in the 2003 elections he was on the strategy team of the Labor party.
Strenger’s central claim is that Israel must be understood as a belated country that is currently in a culture war about its identity, with central issues like the relation of religion and state as yet unsolved. He also analyzes the complex, guilt-ridden relation between Europe and Israel, and claims that the Middle Eastern conflict is, among others, intractable because of the exclusive claim of monotheistic religions to absolute truth.
