History 177A: US Policy & Israel Palestinian Conflict
In this class, we will examine the evolution of US policy towards the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from the founding of the Israeli state, up until the present time. In exploring this sensitive subject, we will attempt to contextualize US decision-making within the broader framework of US-Middle East relations. Students will be reading diverse sources and encountering competing perspectives. An important goal for this course is to deepen our understanding of US policy and to enable a free, serious discussion about its purpose and impact.
Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes:
