From Giza to Gaza

By John R. Byrne

UM law school held a panel talking about the current crisis in the Middle East. Interesting perspectives from Judge Altman (not on behalf of the federal bench, he was careful to add!), Lenny Roth, a lawyer and current Vice President at UBS, and Mickey Kerbel, an entrepreneur and veteran of the 1973 Yom Kippur war. The panel provided historical context to the current crisis and touched on other topics, including the Israeli legal system. Worth a watch, link is here.

***UPDATE***

Judge Altman provided Commentary for Real World Politics on the Gaza Hospital Bombing here.

    Judge Altman speaks uninterrupted for approx 12 minutes beginning at 1:03. It's worth watching every minute of it.

    Anyone else think this isn’t the type of thing a judge should weigh in on publicly? Seems a little political. Maybe run for office already.

    6:52, why wouldn't a judge be able to comment on an international conflict...
