CSP: Making Sense of Israel – 3-part program
In this three-part program, Clive will start by asking where the very word ‘Israel’ comes from. Is it a person, a people, a place or a country? Is the State of Israel the same as the Holy Land? What are the boundaries of the ‘Promised Land’? How is it that back in the days of our grandparents, most Jews were not Zionists? In the early days of the State of Israel, she found herself confronted by ‘the Arabs’, best represented by Egypt. Then her avowed enemy was ‘The Palestinians’, best represented by the PLO. Now the enemy appears to be ‘Islamists’, best represented by Hamas. Over three weeks, we will cover the history, politics and current situation and consider what options exist for Israel. Has it been built over a fault line that is now pulling it apart. Or can the famed creativity of the Jews in general and Israelis in particular find a way through the many dilemmas that beset the State?
