Will Israel attack Iran?

No one knows for sure, but few journalists have a better-informed opinion than Ben-Dror Yemini, the opinion-page editor of Maariv, a generally pro-government Israeli newspaper, who has interviewed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu many times and knows what makes him tick.

His appearance at the P&P – Wednesday, March 14 @ 7:30 p.m. — follows the gathering of the national Boycott, Divest and Sanctions movement at Penn. From his vantage point, Yemini will talk about whether peace prospects are a chimera, or a possibility – and why. (He supports the two-state solution, says he has roots in the peace movement and has friends in the Palestine Liberation Organization.)

He’s promising a Power Point presentation to support his main theme, “Industry of Lies,” and, of course, will take questions.
