UCI students report on Israel-Palestine conflict

UC Irvine student leaders from Islamic, Jewish, Christian, Druze and unaffiliated religious backgrounds took a joint trip to Israel and Palestine this September, after 18 months of planning and $60,000 of fundraising.

At 7 p.m. Thursday, the students will present “Beyond Stereotypes: Faces and Voices of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict,” a program sharing their insights gathered during the two-week trip.

The 14 students included members of the Muslim Student Union, Society of Arab Students, Anteaters for Israel, UCI chapter of Hillel, Middle East Studies Initiative and Model U.N.

The free program will be at the UCI Student Center, Crystal Cove Auditorium. Doors open 6:30 p.m. Parking is available for $7 in the Student Center Parking Structure.
