Pushing the Two-State Path in Israel-Palestine
- This event has passed.
Join us for a conversation between a Palestinian and the son of a Holocaust survivor who care deeply about the Jewish Israeli and Palestinian communities to which they are connected, but who reject the status quo, division, and polarization that characterize much of our discourse about the situation in the region. These peacemakers from the OneVoice movement reject the dehumanizing “us vs. them” narratives that sow conflict and division and instead advocate for a shared future that unlocks the full potential of both peoples and ensures a Middle East where all can live in safety and dignity. They also seek to empower voices that foster depolarization in the discourse in order build support for actionable solutions that promote Israeli-Palestinian coexistence.

Daniel Lubetzky, JD ’93, who is the son of a Holocaust survivor, has spent his life building bridges—first by promoting economic cooperation in the Middle East, then by building the OneVoice Movement, the largest grassroots movement of Israelis and Palestinians working toward peaceful coexistence. Perhaps best known as the founder of KIND Snacks, Daniel has spent over 30 years working with Arab and Israeli partners to build toward a Middle East where all people can live in safety and dignity. Through his philanthropic work, Daniel seeks to help those in conflict move beyond “us vs. them” mindsets to find common ground and build on it together.
