The raw numbers in the wake of Hamas’ Oct. 7 terrorist attack — 1,200 killed and more than 240 abducted — can sanitize the personal trauma and horror of the brutality, including sex-based violence. Women often are stereotyped as victims or peacemakers, but CIE’s 27th weekly webinar on the Israel-Hamas war, set for April 17, examines the reality of women’s responses and roles in Israeli society and the reactions to how they have fought, volunteered, advocated and led for more than six months. Joining moderator Dr. Ken Stein, CIE’s president and an Emory University emeritus professor of Middle East history, political science and Israel studies, are Col. (res.) Pnina Sharvit Baruch of the Institute for National Security Studies and Dr. Julia Elad-Strenger, a political psychologist at Bar-Ilan University.

Since Hamas brutally murdered 1,200 Israelis and others on Oct. 7 and kidnapped more than 240, Hezbollah and Israel have battled along the Lebanese border, trading missiles and airstrikes but so far avoiding all-out war. The threat, however, has forced Israelis to evacuate from the northern border, and the risk of fighting on the scale of the 2006 war seems to be rising. Assessing the danger and the impact on Israelis in the north during CIE’s 22nd weekly webinar March 13 are retired IDF Maj. Gen. Yaacov Ayish of the Jewish Institute for National Security of America and Anat Shapira of the Institute for National Security Studies. Moderating the discussion is Dr. Ken Stein, CIE’s president and an Emory University emeritus professor of Middle East history, political science and Israel studies.
