On April 24th, 2014, Cornell University’s pro-Israel group, CIPAC, and CAMERA Fellow Benjamin Horowitz presented Jonathan Schanzer, a world renowned Middle East History scholar to an intimate audience consisting of CIPAC members, community members, and interns from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.
In specific, Mr. Schanzer discussed his new book, State of Failure, in which he writes about the founding of the PLO and its failure to develop fair practices and institutions required to run a state. The most important piece of his discussion focused on the world’s refusal to place accountability on the governing body of the Palestinians and its placing of blame solely on Israel instead.
