Course Description:

The modern history of Israel and Palestine is incredibly complex, and oftentimes individuals approach this topic by solely considering one perspective. This course will look at the history of the last few decades, unearthing the complexities, and examining both Palestinian and Israeli perspectives. It will discuss some of the subtle shifts in Israeli politics and the rise of Hamas in Gaza. Only by understanding both sides can one have a truly informed opinion. By grasping this information, not only can one become more knowledgeable, but they can have more balanced discussions, and thus help shape the way that others understand this complex relationship.
