Description

In this class we studied the history and relationship of Zionism and Palestinian nationalism. We examined the origins of both movements and the history of their conflict. Significant attention was given to the conflict over Palestine which culminated in the establishment of Israel in 1948 as well as the half-century of war, protest and occupation which followed. We  read primary and secondary sources from many perspectives,.
