Debate: Should Boulder, Colorado, Become a Sister City of Nablus in Israeli-Occupied West Bank?

http://democracynow.org - As we are on the road in Colorado, we look at how Boulder is debating an international conflict. This week the Boulder City Council agreed to hire a moderator and convene a citizen panel to mediate disagreements over a proposal to make Boulder a sister city of Nablus in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. A group of residents applied to the City Council to recognize Nablus as a sister city, writing, "Boulder and Nablus have so much in common that they are natural sisters for each other. … We believe that there is no better moment for people-to-people connections that can contribute to further understanding." But a previous effort to recognize Nablus as a sister city was voted down by the Boulder City Council in 2013. We host a debate between two Boulder residents. Essrea Cherin is board chair of the Boulder-Nablus Sister City Project, which applied for Nablus to be officially recognized as a sister city of Boulder, and Bruce Shaffer is a retired attorney who opposes the plan.
