CORRECTION: Please submit questions to panelists here in the chat

how would you respond to on campus protests/marches? Is it best to plan for extensive exchange or not engage

For Dennis Ross - What advice would you give this generation of diplomats and peacemakers? Given what you know now, if given the job again now, would you do anything differently?

what happened most recently at Al Aqsa? what was the need to raid the mosque compound?

Heads up Khaled is just joining now and will be on screen shortly

**Hamas

**Hamas

Very much like what has been happening with Armenia and Azerbaijan, why do Muslim nations including Iran, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Palestine, and many more utilize war, hate, and discrimination against non-Muslim minorities like that of Jews, Armenians, Assyrians, Kurds, and Yazidis to name a few?

Please note that I will continue providing corrections to mistakes in the live transcript here in the chat. From now on I will relabel those as **CC:

Do you know who is funding this settler group? What is the name of this group

where do you (the panelists) get your info? What are the best, most reliable sources for updated, accurate info?

so why didn't Israel leave the area? to keep peace

**CC: Hamas

**CC: Miri

Did Israel send airstrikes to that area before Hamas attacked or was it only the conflict at the mosque?

**CC: Sheikh Jarrah

**CC: Sheikh Jarrah

**CC: Arab and Islamic

Are we looking at another intifada?

I am struggling with this. All my friends, all leftists, do not believe that Israel is a state. I don't know how to feel as a Jew. They all believe it is "one big settlement which needs to be uprooted," all of these left-leaning people. Additionally, many of them are catholic and white.

**CC: Hamas

**CC: holiest

I

**CC: Sheikh Ahmad Yassin

so what are your thoughts when people say Israel are the oppressors?

Also, what should knowledgable Americans, jews, muslims and others do when we see antisemitic hate and propaganda online?

I just got reports that Lebanon is also bombing Israel now. What does that mean for us now?

**CC: Nakba day

How do we actually believe that there would be peace if an Islamic State took over the place for Israel when Hamas has come out and said they want the world rid of jews

For Miri- why are so many civilians getting killed in Gaza, and why is the death toll so one-sided on the Palestinian side? Is there any proof for the claims of human shields on the Hamas side?

**CC: Palestinian delegation

I understand Hamas is a terrorist organization and terrorists do horrendous things, like bomb cities. but how do you justify the Israeli government (what you consider to not be a terrorist organization) bombing palestians and doing the same thing Hamas is?

Please go through the Clinton parameters!

**CC: Israel withdrew

**CC: through a coup

Are Hamas, Fatah, and the PA on the same "side" in this conflict? Are they all working together to shoot the rockets, or is it mainly Hamas with support from the others?

Is Joe Biden doing a good job handing the Israeli Palestinian conflict?

**CC: the peace camp

**CC: haven't taken

**CC: Hamas

How do all of you feel with how the news media sources (NBC, FOX, CNN, etc) are portraying the current issue in Israel? Are what they saying wrong or bias? I’m curious about your thoughts on this

**CC: Yasser Arafat

**CC: Israeli concessions

**CC: President Abbas

**CC: Hamas

**CC: Gaza

For Khaled - why do the Gazans people still support Hamas? Under what conditions would they dump them and their ideology?

Given the current climate on social media, many have called Israel a settler colonialist country, an occupier and an apartheid state. Is there any validity to such claims, and in a conversation what should we really be saying if anything about these claims in a way that doesn't delegitimize both the Palestinian and Israeli experiences

What about when the Palestinian narrative has no room for another side?

**CC: facts

Could you explain/give context on what Hamas is? my American friends on the call don't understand why/how they are a terrorist group

For all panelists - how do the war crimes allegations against Israel in 2014 play into the current conflict? Is there a danger in degrade the claims of reputable organizations like Amnesty International?

**CC: and mediator

Instead of firing rockets, what action on Hamas’ part could get Israelis to stop evicting Palestinians?

**CC: got out

**CC: attacks

How do you respond to people who believe Israel shouldn't fight back with Hamas because the people in Gaza do not have anywhere to go?

Why are we only focusing on Hamas?

**CC: Hamas

**CC: Hamas

**CC: Palestinian side

**CC: Hamas military infrastructure

Do you think that the relationship between Arab Israelis and Jewish Israelis can be repaired?

There seems to be a lot of talk about Hamas. Is there any criticism of Israel, how they have handled this situation and what Israel can do to lessen the rise of extremism in the Gaza strip

**CC: delayed under the current circumstances

For all panelists - Why can we not negotiate with Hamas? You don’t make peace with your friends, by definition. If the Palestinian state is ruled by Hamas, who cares as long as Israel can protect itself?

**CC: Mahmoud Abbas

**CC: Would I vote

Isnt Israel responsible for ensuring the wellbeing the Palestinian people given that they have more power and control the land that Palestinians used to live on?

Is there time to talk about what’s going on in Sheikh Jarrah?

how can I keep getting informed about this ?

I’ve been hearing that Palestinians aren’t allowed to have passports or leave their neighborhoods at all. Is this true? How is this allowed?

**CC: coalition talks

**CC: President Abbas

For Miri - you said it's best to have conversations in person and not on Instagram, and I agree. But there's so much hate and misinformation being posted on Instagram - are you saying we shouldn't fight back? I'm having trouble figuring out if it makes sense to join the social media conversation or if it will only be harmful for all involved. Thank you.

**CC: Palestinian elections

For Khaled - how to do you react to persistent grievance among Palestinians about the refugee issue? To what extent does this keep Hamas in power? Is the refugee issue even possible to solve?

i’m israeli and my family is in israel and i am honestly so embarrassed about the way palestinians are being talked about in this call.

My jewish and muslim friends have shared vastly different and divisive views about this situation especially regarding their view towards israel and i/p conflict . as a non-jewish how do you recommend me to stay informed and and educated in this while supporting my friends?

*as a non-jewish myself
