We will ask: What does the future of the American/Israeli alliance look like and how can we influence it.
Course Description:
The American/Israeli alliance has been one of the strongest in modern history. We will explore how Presidents since Truman have related to Israel, particularly in times of crisis: From Truman’s ‘yes’ vote at the UN to establish a Jewish and Arab state in Palestine and his immediate recognition of the new Jewish state - to Eisenhower’s NO to Israel during the Suez Canal war - to Nixon’s historic lifesaving airlift of weapons to Israel during the Yom Kippur war and Biden’s travel to Israel during the current war in Gaza. We will ask: What does the future of the American/Israeli alliance look like and how can we influence it.
