Baruch Kimmerling, PhD Biography
- Title:
- Former George S. Wise Professor of Sociology at Hebrew University of Jerusalem
- Position:
- Pro to the question "Is a Two-State Solution (Israel and Palestine) an Acceptable Solution to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict?"
- Reasoning:
-
“The only acceptable border for Palestinians, after they already gave up 78 percent of historic Palestine, is the pre-1967 border. This should be the trade-off deal with the original demand for return to a whole Palestine.”

- Involvement and Affiliations:
-
- “The original foci of my research and theoretical, as well intellectual, interests were mainly on the impact of the Jewish-Arab (and Israeli-Palestinian) conflict on the Israeli society, and later on the development of the Palestinian collective consciousness and emerging nationalism.”
