Dr. Rashid Khalidi’s guest course, A Short Course on Palestine. 

In this course, we will examine the history of Palestine since 1917, not as a “conflict” between equals but as a century-long process of settler-colonial dispossession and persistent Palestinian resistance. It traces the rise of Zionism, emerging from European anti-Semitism and supported by imperial powers, and how Israel has relied on backing from Britain, the United States, and other global powers to pursue wars and consolidate control. At the same time, it highlights the continuous efforts of the Palestinian people to resist occupation, preserve their homeland, and assert their rights in the face of ongoing oppression and violence. 

The course schedule: 

• September 30  - The Origins of the 100 Years' War,

• October 7 - The 1947-1949 War and the Nakba

• October 14 - The 1967 and 1982 Wars - The United States Steps In

• October 28 - Genocide in Gaza

We will end the course with a Debrief: Study group on Staten Island: Dec 10, 6pm-9pm
