[Past Event] Unveiling the History of Israel, Gaza and the West Bank | Zoom + Recorded

Course Description:

One of the challenges to creating an informed opinion is that everything happens in context. While one can perhaps learn the specific actions that take place in the Middle East, and particularly in Israel and Palestine, without delving into the history of the area, one cannot hope to understand why those actions take place. Further, the actions in Israel and Palestine very much impact life here in the United States. This course will attempt to consider the history of the region and understand the roots of the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians. Though it is an incredibly challenging topic to consider, it is imperative to understanding one of the most divisive issues of our era.
