Haborcreek Satellite: Beyond the Headlines: Understanding Gaza, Hamas, and What Lies Ahead
The devastating conflict in Gaza – a tiny strip of desert land – has resulted in mass destruction. With the near total destruction of infrastructure, most homes, schools, hospitals, mosques and churches, and with over 45,000 dead and more than 100,000 injured with thousands missing in the rubble, Israel has bombed Gaza back into the stone age. What does the future hold for Gaza, Hamas, the Palestinians, and the Israelis? Is there really any chance for reconstruction, recovery, and peace? JES Scholar-in-Residence and Chairman of the Board of Trustees Dr. Baher Ghosheh will address these questions and more.
Location: Harborcreek Township Building – 5601 Buffalo Road, Harborcreek, PA 16421
