When did you last hear someone say something new about the peace process? And when did you last hear someone new
say it? Every day, it seems, a panel of experts—diplomats, pundits, scholars, chin-pullers of all
varieties—convenes to chew over the future of Israeli-Palestinian relations. These groups all have something in
common: They are overwhelmingly male. The PBS program Frontline recently attracted criticism for asking 23
male experts and three women to reflect on the career of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. We at Moment
have been offenders ourselves, printing past symposia on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that featured far more
male than female contributors.
