Israel’s Wars
This curriculum examines the history of Israel’s military history in an effort to better understand contemporary Israeli politics and security concerns. Taking a chronological approach, the syllabus begins with an overview of the origins of the IDF and a study of the Six-Day and Yom Kippur Wars. This is followed by an examination of more contemporary issues and conflicts, including the nature of contemporary Isareli-Palestinian conflict, the Second Intifada, and the Second Lebanon War.
Adapted from a course taught by Tikvah’s American University chapter in the spring of 2023.
