Matt Kibbe talks to Gil Dagan, Leadership Outreach Coordinator for Students for Liberty in Israel, about the recent riots and rocket strikes in Jerusalem. In this highly charged atmosphere, Gil attempts to give a balanced take from a libertarian perspective about both the historical roots of the conflict and the situation as it exists today. As extremists on both sides continue to escalate and provoke violence for political reasons, ordinary Israelis and Palestinians generally just want to live their lives in peace and freedom.

Rule of ‘law’ and results of warfare can be quite determinative of property ‘rights.’ Should we add the Vote of the United Nations Security Council or the UN General Assembly? Where do rights come from?

When did ‘Palestinians’ appear in control of East Jerusalem? What control do Palestinians have over missiles and rockets? What control do Palestinians have over the group HAMAS?

World football would seem like an (un)armed pitch for the world cup of peace. Could anybody be frightened of a sporting challenge?
