This course is intended to help students studying in gap year programs in Israel confront the rise of negative sentiment towards Israel on North American campuses by instilling them with a deeper understanding of the complexities and nuances of the Arab-Israeli conflict. The students will also gain leadership & activism skills to effectively make the case for Israel. Using the latest multimedia educational resources, including film and video, this course features interactive workshops, guest speakers, and uses current events as the backdrop for class discussion.
This program was formerly under the auspices of the David Project and now is part of Jerusalem University.
