Bio of Dahlia Scheindlin
Discussion Questions
1. Crossroads of War and Occupation
- Dr. Scheindlin outlines two divergent paths regarding Israel’s military presence in Gaza and the West Bank. What do you think are the long-term implications of each path for Israel, Palestinians, and regional stability?
- She speaks of the possibility of elections becoming less meaningful due to erosion of democratic norms. What indicators do you think signal a democracy in decline? Are those indicators present in Israel today?
- Dr. Scheindlin argues that Israel needs a formal constitution to define equality, the source of legal authority, and citizenship. How might the absence of a formal constitution affect public trust and civil rights in Israel?
- In her talk, civil society mobilization is described as a primary source of hope in the face of political dysfunction. What lessons can be drawn from the way Israeli civil society has responded to government actions since 2023? Can civil society maintain momentum and influence policy without formal political power?
- Dr. Scheindlin emphasizes that American Jews must “learn the situation for real” and bring their democratic values to conversations with Israelis. How can American Jews engage responsibly and effectively with Israel’s internal struggles?
What tensions exist between solidarity and critique when it comes to Diaspora-Israel relations?
- Which of the crossroads Dahlia Scheindlin identifies—war, politics, or democracy—feels most urgent to you? Why?
- What gives you hope for Israel’s future? What are you most concerned about?
