Correction: Only Sagie currently remains in the reserves. The two travel around the United States teaching about the history of the conflict in Israel and how it relates to what is going on today.

The recent development of both international and civil conflict throughout the Middle East is spreading tensions beyond the immediate borders of war-torn countries to continental and international levels. On Feb. 15, stories of Israeli conflict arrived at Memorial Student Union for an event hosted by the MU chapter of Students Supporting Israel, and sponsored by StandWithUs. Speakers Sagie and Idan were both drafted into the Israel Defense Forces at age 18. Each continued their years of service in military leadership and continue to serve today as reservists. Together they presented memories and experiences which they had attained through years of service. Both individuals are currently working to complete their college education and are part of a group traveling throughout the U.S. with the hope of educating audiences on the recent history of Israel.

The Maneater regrets the error.
