RELIGIOUS STUDIES 274 - Zionism,the State of Israel,and the Middle East Conflict

Institution:

Hobart William Smith Colleges

Subject:

Description:

An examination of the roots of Zionism-a complicated religious, ideological, and political movement. Such external factors as the Holocaust and the acute problems of the surviving refugees; the conflict between Jews and Arabs in Palestine; the breakdown of the British Mandate and the mutual rivalries of the Western powers in the Middle East; and the EastWest conflict in the global scene are some of the historical forces which accelerated the creation of the Jewish state that are examined. But attention is also given to the internal intellectual and spiritual forces in Jewish life, which were at least as important and which constitute the ultimately decisive factor.
