October 7, 2023 marked a fresh round of warfare between Israel and Hamas, the terrorist organization governing the Gaza Strip. As this post goes to press, the ongoing war in Gaza is writing a bloody new chapter in the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
I had the opportunity to explore the broader Arab-Israeli conflict, its history and politics, with a class of undergraduate students this last semester.
During that class, I brought in my good friend, and former TTP podcast guest, Judith Rood to discuss her personal background and its connection to the Arab-Israeli conflict and to explore some of the more complex elements that animate Israeli-Palestinian relations.
This is a recording of that guest lecture and it’s been divided into two parts, the second of which will air next week.
