Surveys show that most Canadian Jews have a strong emotional attachment to Israel – stronger for example, than that of American Jews.

This is true even of those progressive Jews who are critical of Israeli policies and actions toward the Palestinians. Why is this?

In her most recent book, "Borders and Belonging: A memoir," Professor Mira Sucharov reflects candidly on growing up as a progressive Jewish Canadian woman, scholar, and activist.

Raja Khouri and Peter Larson, of the Ottawa Forum on Israel/Palestine, will interview Mira about her book, and her evolving ideas about the Israel/Palestine dilemma.
