Description
What is it about the Israel/Palestine conflict that makes people on university campuses go off the deep end? Award-winning author, Kenneth S. Stern, explores this timely question in his latest book, The Conflict over the Conflict. Rather than championing one side over the other, Stern makes a compelling case for a practice that can bring the two camps closer together: free speech.
At a time when many say students should be quarantined from triggering or otherwise troubling ideas, Stern argues that the campus is the best place to mine the intense views inspired by this conflict to help future generations develop critical thinking skills and empathy. The Conflict over the Conflict shows readers of all stripes how this is possible.

Advance Praise
“Fluent, and well informed, this is unusual blend of memoir and political analysis. Never does Stern boast of his accomplishments, and never does he deny the complexity of Israeli and Palestinian affairs. This is a candid, fascinating and thoughtful portrait of Jewish communal issues, free speech and university-based controversies certain to continue for the foreseeable future.”
- Steven J. Zipperstein , author of Pogrom: Kishinev and the Tilt of History and Daniel E. Koshland Professor in Jewish Culture and History, Stanford University
“This book is a must-read: Kenneth Stern fearlessly analyzes the political and emotional turmoil over the Israel/Palestinian conflict, perhaps the most complex and inflammatory problem of our time, with extraordinary care, concern and insight. He is an intellectual hero.”
- Susannah Heschel, Eli Black Professor of Jewish Studies, Dartmouth College
