The Path to Peace

This class will present an in-depth look at the Israeli/Palestinian conflict and itemize many
steps along the road to peace. Starting with ancient history and moving rapidly through the
20th century to the present we will explore the impact of history, politics and religion on the peace process. We will look at a combination of well known, disparate and little known voices that speak in favor of as well as in opposition to the current peace initiative. This course will serve as either an independent primer on the current Israel/Palestinian conflict and the peace process or as a logical follow up to the historical analysis undertaken in the course"Israel/Palestine 101.”

Please note that Larry will present an impartial view of this sensitive issue, intended only to increase understanding.
