Clinical Professor of Law Doron Kalir gave two lectures on Israel at Case Western Reserve’s Siegal Lifelong Learning Program. The first lecture – “Israel: Still ‘Jewish & Democratic’?” – explored the historical, political, and legal circumstances that contributed to Israel’s definition as both Jewish and Democratic in its Basic Laws, and wondered whether such definition is still sustainable. The second, “What’s New(s) in Israel” reported on current political developments in Israel in light of the continued Gaza conflict, the growing economic disparity, and recent Supreme Court rulings regarding African asylum seekers.
