Описание: Recorded on February 12, 2026. Organized by the UCLA Y&S Nazarian Center for Israel Studies.

About the Book:
Catalyzed by the kidnapping and murder of his son, Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, world-renowned computer scientist and philosopher Dr. Judea Pearl has been a relentless advocate for reason and understanding in writings and talks spanning the first quarter of the twenty-first century. Best known for his groundbreaking work on artificial intelligence, Dr. Pearl turned his power of analysis to an anatomy of the hate that took his son's life, the Arab-Israeli conflict, the story of Israel, antisemitism, campus unrest, and other related subjects. In his new book, Coexistence and Other Fighting Words, Dr. Pearl collects the best of his work, offering an indispensable guide to some of the most pressing issues of our time.
