DESCRIPTION:I will be offering a series of informal lectures on Palestine and the 
 Palestinian people, beginning on Saturday January 24th. It will be an 
 abbreviated version of a semester length course I taught for years at 
 Sonoma State University entitled “Israel, the Palestinians and US Foreign 
 Policy.” Since October 7th, 2023, many of us have been overwhelmed by 
 reports of the magnitude of the death tolls of Palestinian civilians and 
 the destruction of essentially the entirety of the physical infrastructure 
 of the Gaza Strip by the Israeli armed forces which continues to this 
 day.\n\nI will attempt to discuss and connect the signal events of 
 Palestinian history – from the rise of Political Zionism and the Balfour 
 Declaration through to the UN Partition Plan for Palestine in 1947 and on 
 through the wars of 1956, 1967, 1973 and then the uprisings, the intifadas, 
 of the 1980s and 2000s. People with a limited background on this history 
 will surely benefit, but I believe that even those with a significant 
 familiarity with the Palestinian experience will benefit from some of the 
 unique perspectives that will be presented.\n
