Sarcasm aside, worth a peek.

Frost professor of Jewish history Derek Penslar has taught university courses about Israel for the past 35 years. But his current class in the history department, “One Land, Two Peoples: The Modern History of Israel/Palestine,” comes at an especially fraught time for the Middle East—and for Harvard.

[prof. Penslar:] “It is possible to have a very deep attachment to Israel and acknowledge Palestinian national rights and claims. How you reconcile them is another story.”
