“Gaza, the IDF Code of Ethics, and the Morality of War”: Moshe Halbertal in Discussion with JTS Chancellor Eisen

The Jewish Theological Seminary (JTS) will host an important community program, “Gaza, the IDF Code of Ethics, and the Morality of War,” featuring Dr. Moshe Halbertal in conversation with Chancellor Arnold M. Eisen on the complicated ethical challenges faced by Israel in this summer’s war in Gaza. The discussion will explore such questions as: What moral and legal principles should guide an army in a complex confrontation that involves a tragic loss of civilian life and other major collateral damage? What values has the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) committed itself to uphold in times of war? How do we arrive at an honest account of what actually happened in Gaza, in light of competing moral considerations and the realities that Israel faced? In the wake of the Gaza war, what lessons can Israel learn, and how should Israel proceed?
