9/29: Avoiding Another Gaza

The war in Gaza has been more brutal, prolonged, and broad-based than almost anyone could have imagined. And, so far, there appear to be no “winners”–only losers.

On Monday we’ll discuss Gaza through a somewhat different lens: With the benefit of hindsight–at least to date:

  • How can a repeat of this war, in some other geography, amongst different combatants, be avoided?
    • Is the U.N. capable of averting another war or, at least, minimizing civilian casualties? Or is it a paper tiger?
    • Have there been any clear “mistakes” by the international community or by major players on the international scene (like the U.S., China, and Europe)?
  • Are any of the ideas put forth above realistic, or are they just wishful thinking?
  • How are the dynamics in Gaza different from, for example, Sudan?

Late-summer hiatus

At last Monday’s meeting, we decided to take a few weeks off to enjoy the rest of the summer and “recharge” our enthusiasm for discussing “issues of the day.” Keep a few notes of topics you’d like to discuss when we restart our weekly meetings on September 22, 2025.

We look forward to seeing you then!
