FGCU Academy - The Roots of the Israel-Palestine Conflict

The Roots of the Israel-Palestine Conflict  

The Israel-Palestine conflict is complex and defies simple explanations. It has Biblical dimensions that most other conflicts do not have. The immediate roots of the conflict go back to the post-World War II period and the partitioning of Palestine. Later it became part of the Cold War contest between the West and the Soviet Union and was nearly resolved when the Oslo Accords came close to creating a long-sought two-state solution. With the 1995 assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin by a Jewish extremist, the brief window of opportunity shut and gave way to further conflict. This lecture touches upon all these critical moments and offers some prospects of what may follow.
