About this Event
Two leading lights of the Jewish and Muslim communities are to debate the Controversial topics of antizionism and antisemitism in the second Whitworth debate at The University of Manchester.
Raphi Bloom co-founder and current co-Chair of North West Friends of Israel will share the floor with Abdullah Al Andalus, a researcher for the I3 Institute and co-founder of the discussion forum The Muslim Debate Initiative (MDI).
The pair will discuss the motion that antizionism is the same thing as antisemitism, in a debate chaired by Joseph Timan, politics writer at the Manchester Evening News.
The debaters hope to unpack what antizionism and antisemitism means to them, and the impact of the ongoing conflict between Israelis and Palestinians.
An airing of the issues will, they hope, clarify the complexities of the conflict and promote respect and understanding for both Jewish and Muslim communities.
