Should Israel recognize Palestine as a state?

Join the Phi Kappa Society as we debate a hot current event topic that is currently troubling international relations: BIHR: Israel should recognize Palestine as a state.

Fighting continues in the Israeli-Palestine conflict. An estimated 14,500 civilian casualties have been reported since 1948, and that number continue to grow. Americans often find themselves in a difficult position in this debate as the U.S. has been one the main champions of Israel since its beginnings, yet terrible violence has been committed on both sides. Does Palestine deserve recognition? Is recognition even possible? What does it take to resolve this decades-long battle? Talk about it this Thursday in Phi Kappa Hall at 7 p.m.

The Phi Kappa Literary Society was founded in 1820 and is one of the oldest organizations on campus. Phi Kappa seeks to improve public speaking skills by debates, creative writings and orations.
