Michael Oren, Israel's current ambassador to the United States, spoke at Temple De Hirsch Sinai last night. I'm trying to learn more about the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, and sent in my RSVP last week so that I could attend.
Although I'm glad I went, I must confess to being disappointed at the lack of any substantial discussion of the settlements: I'm far from an expert on this subject, but that's the issue which it seems to me would be the hardest for formal peace negotiations to resolve.
