Anotace
Arab-Israeli conflict is almost as long, as the Jewish National movement – Zionism. Since the beginning of reestablishment of the Jewish “national home” in the Land of Israel/Palestine, conflicts with its Arab population, and, after the establishment of the State of Israel, also with the Arab states were one of the most important aspects of the life of the local Jewish community. Besides, involvement of the global and regional powers makes this conflict, including its Arab-Palestinian aspect, an important issue of the international agenda.
Whether the Arab-Israeli conflict was inevitable, and what are the ways to resolve it? How could we define ethnic national, religious, geopolitical and social aspects of the hundred-years long Middle Eastern conflict, and what was the role of the USSR/Russia and other superpowers in it? This proposed course aims to answer these and other related questions.
