Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
- Compare and contrast the PLO/Fatah with Hamas. How do they compare to other secular nationalist and fundamentalist groups under review in this class.
- Assess the principles of Zionism. Is this another example of western imperialism in a non-western spot or does the history of the world's Jews justify the Zionist project?
- How defensible are tactics, such as ethnic cleansing (1948) and the building of settlements in the West Bank and Gaza (1967-present), utilized by Israel against Palestinians?
- The United States commits more foreign aid to Israel than to any other country in the world. Why is this and is it the correct course of action?
