Description

With the 50th anniversary of the 6th of October War (1973) on the horizon, the CASAR department put together a panel to discuss different perspectives in the Middle East and United States. After an introduction to the CASAR department by Director Mark W. Deets, the panelists were introduced. This panel featured AUC History department professor Mouaness Hojairi, who discussed and contrasted Egyptian, Syrian, Palestinian, and Lebanese perspectives. Also from the history department was Professor Michael Reimer, who discussed American Jewish and Israeli perspectives on the war. The special guest for this event was a panelist, a distinguished scholar from the University of Central Florida, David Dumke, who discussed the American perspective on the war. A former member of the United States Congress, Professor Dumke is the director of Global Perspectives and International Initiatives at his university and also co-hosted a public television programme discussing Middle East politics, diplomacy, and United States policies. After the three professors presented their unique findings, the panel was open to a Q&A, where event attendees were free to join the discussion as well.
