Israel, Jordan and Palestine: One State, Two States or Three? (Part 1)
Speaker: Dr. Asher Susser\n\nAffiliation: Senior Fellow, Moshe Dayan Center for Middle Eastern Studies, Tel Aviv University; Senior Visiting Fellow, Crown Center for Middle East Studies, Brandeis University\n\nTitle: The Third Annual Professor William Prusoff Honorary Lecture: "Israel, Jordan and Palestine: One State, Two States or Three?" - Part 1 (YIISA/ISGAP Antisemitism in Comparative Perspective Seminar Series)\n\nConvener: Dr. Charles Asher Small, Founder and Executive Director, Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP)\n\nLocation: Yale University, New Haven, CT\n\nDate: April 22, 2010\n\nDescription: Dr. Asher Susser analyzes the evolution of the one- and two-state options and explores why a two-state solution has failed to materialize. He provides an in-depth analysis of Jordan\u2019s positions and presents an updated discussion of the two-state imperative through the initiatives of Israel and the Palestinian Authority. Susser argues that Israelis, Palestinians, and Jordanians have cohesive collective identities that violently collide with each other. As a result of these entrenched differences, a single-state solution cannot be achieved.
