Using this text as a starting point, we will explore Jewish history in the Middle East, the rise of Zionism, the development of the Palestinian national narrative, and the Arab cultural values, social structures, and historical experiences that shaped Arab-Jewish relations and the Arab-Israeli conflict. Through historical context and respectful conversation, this class aims to deepen understanding of both the narratives and cultural perspectives that continue to influence Israel, Palestine, and the broader Middle East today.
