The annual Sokolof Lecture looks forward to hosting John Spencer, an award-winning scholar, professor, author, combat veteran, national security and military analyst, and internationally recognized expert and advisor on urban warfare. John Spencer will analyze how Israel's military (IDF) follows the international laws of warfare with the utmost care and more so than any country ever has, though public opinion paints the actions of the IDF as excessive and harmful. This event will be a lecture and dinner.
