Public discourse on Palestine and Israel is often contentious. However, since the Hamas attacks on October 7 and the subsequent, ongoing military response from Israel, the violence has spurred particularly intense debate — as well as dialogue and deliberation — in civil society, college campuses, social media platforms, and boardrooms. For some observers, the debates have also sharpened questions about the assumptions, points of departure, and appropriate norms of discourse in discussions about the conflict. What makes discussions of the situation in Israel and Gaza so contentious, and what can we learn about the role of constructive debate and deliberation in challenging times?

Join the Carnegie Endowment of International Peace for a conversation about free speech in times of conflict with Tino Cuéllar, Yael Berda, Daniel Levy, and Suha Salman Mousa. The event will be moderated by Julia Ioffe of Puck News.
SPEAKERS
Yael Berda is an associate professor of sociology & anthropology at Hebrew University and a nonresident fellow with the Middle East Initiative at the Harvard Kennedy School. Her research focuses on the way bureaucracy shapes politics and how mundane and routine practices of the state determine citizenship, sovereignty, and social power, with a focus on states that succeeded British colonial rule. Berda was a practicing human rights lawyer, representing in military and district courts as well as the Supreme Court in Israel.
Daniel Levy is the president of the US/Middle East Project (USMEP). The USMEP is focused on advancing a mutually dignified and acceptable resolution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict. He has been a senior adviser to the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office and to former justice minister Yossi Beilin during Ehud Barak’s government. In addition, Levy was an Israeli official for the Israel/Palestine talks at Taba under Barak and at Oslo II under Itzhak Rabin, as well as being a lead drafter of the model peace agreement (the Geneva Initiative).
Suha Salman Mousa is the executive director of the Mossawa Center and their U.S. sister organization Friends of Mossawa, where she works on advocacy for the Palestinian citizens of Israel including in the courts and in public life.
Julia Ioffe is a writer for and founding partner of the media company Puck. She previously reported on politics and world affairs for The Atlantic.
Tino Cuéllar is the tenth president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. A former justice of the Supreme Court of California, he served two U.S. presidents at the White House and in federal agencies, and was a faculty member at Stanford University for two decades.
