“Fatal Embrace” Author Mark Braverman to Speak at USF Tampa

 Mark Braverman offers a fresh look at an ongoing conflict, i.e. the tensions between the Israel and Palestine.

Braverman, an American Jew, with strong roots in Israel, and author of Fatal Embrace, a compelling study of the Israeli-Palestinian situation, argues for a one state solution.  Come and hear why.

Braverman's grandfather, a fifth generation Palestinian Jew, was born in Jerusalem, emigrating to the U.S. as a young man. Growing up in the United States, Braverman was reared in the Jewish tradition, studying Bible, Hebrew literature, and Jewish history.Trained in clinical psychology and crisis management, Braverman devoted his professional career to working with groups and individuals undergoing traumatic stress. Returning to the Holy Land in 2006, he was transformed by witnessing the occupation of Palestine and by encounters with peace activists and civil society leaders from the Muslim, Christian and Jewish communities.

Book signing will begin at 6 p.m.
