[SIPD] Israeli Elections: Debrief THIS SUNDAY

[Goldstein, Hannah]

*TLDR: Israeli elections debrief & discussion happening in upstairs
Paresky, 6pm, this Sunday 9/22*

Hello!

You're receiving this email because you're on the SIPD, Students for
Israeli-Palestinian Dialogue, listserv.

As many of you may be aware, there were elections happening yesterday in
Israel and the results are slowly starting to solidify. Israeli elections
are complex and the results have many implications for Palestinians and
Israelis alike. Additionally, this election is unique: it was the second
this year. These elections also give rise to the essential question, "who
gets to vote?"

For those interested in learning more about what the election results are,
what they mean for Israel and Palestine, and how exactly this whole
election system works, please *join SIPD on Sunday night, 9/22, at
6:00-6:45pm in upstairs Paresky for a debrief and discussion*. Feel free to
stop by for 15 minutes or for the full 45 minutes. Please reach out with
any questions/concerns you might have.

We hope to see you there!

Best,

Hannah Goldstein '20 & Rebecca Tauber '21 (current SIPD organizational
team)
