I teach legal and political philosophy at Suffolk University in Boston, where I co-founded and direct the Graduate Program in Ethics and Public Policy.

I received my PhD from Boston University where I was fortunate to work under David Lyons. Before that I studied law in Israel.

My teaching and writing focus on how countries emerge from war and how they come to terms with their past.

Sympathizing with the Enemy was recently published by Brill. It provides a philosophical account of political reconciliation. You can read a special symposium on it here and watch a panel discussion here.

I am now writing a new book on truces and ceasefires. This project has been supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities. You can get the main idea here.

I often write essays and op-ed pieces about the Middle East conflict for newspapers and magazines. These have been published by the Boston Globe, The Christian Science Monitor, The Miami Herald, The International Herald Tribune, The Providence Journal, the Forward, The National Interest Online and the Jewish Advocate among others.

I am  available to give public lectures and talks about political reconciliation, the ethics of war and developments in the Middle East to a variety of audiences - both academic and not.

In addition to my scholarly work, I am a Senior Fellow at the International Center for Conciliation. The Center tries to use divergent understandings of history as a tool in conflict resolution.
