Understanding the Arab-Israeli Conflict and Making the Case

This program, made possible by the David Project Center for Jewish Leadership, is designed for all professionals who seek increased knowledge and practice in talking about Israel with donors, clients, and other constituents.

This workshop provides a strong analytical framework for understanding key issues in the Arab-Israeli conflict and the tools needed to help professionals engage in more constructive conversations about Israel and the region. Participants will learn nonverbal communication skills and the David Project’s Address-Reframe-Message technique to address difficult questions. Participants will have the opportunity to practice this technique in workgroups and respond to the most common concerns raised about Israel.
