SUMMARY:FED: An American in Knesset: Making sense of Israel’s tumultuous parliament with Professor Alon Tal
DESCRIPTION:An American in Knesset: Making sense of Israel’s tumultuous parliament\nAs only the seventh American citizen to serve in Israel’s Knesset\, seeing Israel’s complex and colorful legislative and government decision making up close was sometimes uplifting\, sometimes appalling and always fascinating. Based on dozens of idiosyncratic and often humorous anecdotes\, this talk describes lesser-known aspects of the rough and tumble of Israeli politics\, through the eyes of an academic who with little warning had to learn how to promote key issues like\nenvironmental protection\, religious pluralism and gender equality.\n  \nRegister Here
