The Upcoming Nuclear Threat

Following up on my last entry on critical conversations happening in Hyde Park, earlier tonight at the University of Chicago, there were two lectures on Iran and nuclear technology. I only had time to go to the 7:00 lecture with Benny Morris. His talk was titled A Second Holocaust? The Implications of a Nuclear Iran, and it was sponsored by Chicago Friends of Israel and The Jewish United Fund’s JCRC/Hillel Israel Initiative. Morris is a Professor of History at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Beersheba and has published several books on Israeli history and the Israel-Palestine conflict, including The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem Revisited in 2004, and The Road to Jerusalem in 2003.
