JWST 250 - The Arab-Israeli Conflict

Institution:

College of Charleston

Subject:

Jewish Studies

Description:

The land, which for Jews is the ancestral Land of Israel (eretz yisra'el) and for the Arabs is Palestine (falastin), has been the center of one of the modern world's most intricate disputes. This course will provide a background and understanding of the history of the conflict around Israel/Palestine, its roots, and recent developments. The course will look at the conflict from multiple angles and perspectives, first in one long, condensed narrative, and then at particular instances, while examining key texts in the history of what has become the world's longest ongoing nationalist and religious conflict. Previous knowledge about the Middle East, Jewish, or Islamic history is helpful, but not required. Sufficient background will be given during the first week of the course, and throughout where appropriate.
