Jews And Israel in Arab / Palestinian Intellectual Discourse ‎Part III

The lecture explores the Israeli-Arab conflict, tracing back to events like the Russian pogroms in the late 19th century that led to significant Jewish migration to the United States. Restrictive immigration laws reduced Jewish immigration to the U.S. by 1935. The subsequent discussion delves into post-World War II events, including the establishment of Israel in 1948 and the influx of Holocaust survivors into the IDF. The lecture also touches on Palestinian perspectives, highlighting tensions and conflicts leading up to the present day, emphasizing the complex historical narratives and ongoing challenges faced by both Israelis and Palestinians.
