Dennis Ross DoomeD to succeeD
B’nai Torah CongregaTion
Author Forum Series2016 - 2017
Co-sponsored with the adolph and Rose levis Jewish Community CenteR
Ambassador Dennis Ross has been a direct
participant in shaping U.S. policy toward the Middle East, and
Israel specifically, for nearly thirty years. He served in senior roles,
including as former President Bill Clinton’s envoy for Arab-Israeli
peace, and was an active player in the debates over how Israel fit
into the region and what should guide our policies.
DoomeD to succeeD takes us through every administration from
Truman to Obama, throwing into dramatic relief each president’s attitudes toward
Israel and the region, the often tumultuous debates between key advisers, and the
events that drove the policies and at times led to a shift in approach. Ross points
out how distancing the US from Israel in the Eisenhower, Nixon, Bush, and Obama
administrations never yielded any benefits, and offers compelling advice for how to
understand the priorities of Arab leaders and how future administrations might best
shape U.S. policy in that light.
