Whose Land Is It, Anyway?

David & Fay Bisno | Winter 2024

With the Middle East at war and students on U.S. campuses reacting, David Bisno presented 5 carefully balanced lectures asking important questions and making clear the tortured history of Israel and Palestine.    The problems were not settled but the class came to understand the competing claims and appreciated why a solution is so difficult,   From Abraham to Herzl, from Arafat to Netanyahu and listening to an erudite, compassionate Palestinian, here are the LINKS to the 5 presentations:

1.)    Biblical history - Whose Land was it?

2.)   Why people hated the jews – the need to flee

3.)  Zionism & Palestine

4.)  Wars & accords

5.)  Palestinian Mohsen mahdawi visits
