The Buckley Institute presents
Adam Kirsch, Wall Street Journal editor and national contributor:
“What Campus Protesters Get Wrong About Israel.”
On and off campus the phrase “settler colonialism” is increasingly popular with pro-Palestinian advocates who seek to criticize the state of Israel. Join Wall Street Journal editor and national contributor Adam Kirsch on Thursday, April 10, at 4:30pm in WLH 119 (100 Wall St) to explore his new book, On Settler Colonialism: Ideology, Violence, and Justice, the morally dubious ideology behind the phrase, and why it actually perpetuates violence and injustice.
This event is free and open to the public.
Adam Kirsch is a poet, literary critic and editor at the Wall Street Journal’s weekend Review section whose writing appears regularly in the New Yorker, the New York Review of Books and other publications. He is the author of four collections of poems, three collections of essays, and several books on Jewish literature and history. His new book, On Settler Colonialism: Ideology, Violence and Justice, written in the aftermath of Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel, has been described as “a beautifully argued critique” that is “calm and careful, but…also smart, sustained, and fierce” (Michael Walzer, Jewish Review of Books).
