Bildner Center: Reading Herzl in Beirut: The PLO Effort to Know the Enemy

The Raoul Wallenberg Annual Program, funded by Leon and Toby Cooperman

Jonathan Marc Gribetz, Professor of Near Eastern studies and Judaic studies at Princeton University, will speak about his new book on the history of the Palestine Liberation Organization Research Center, from its establishment in 1965 until its expulsion from Lebanon in 1983. Gribetz examines why the PLO invested in research about Judaism and Zionism and how the knowledge it acquired informed the PLO’s relationship to Israel.
