About the event
“History of a Conflict” is a 3-part program, in which each part covers a different decade (1916-1948), providing a comprehensive overview of historical milestones that led to the creation of what we know today as the “Israeli-Palestinian conflict”. The program contains testimonies of individuals who were involved during the time of the question and interviews with History professors from England, Israel, and the West Bank.
- Part 1, February 26: “Every conflict needs an Arena”- Telling the story of how and why the British arrived in the area, how they reshaped it into what we know today as the “Middle East”, and how it contributed to the creation of the first roots of the conflict.
- Part 2, March 5: “From Friends to Enemies”- Tells the story of how the Jewish-Arab conflict turned from a territorial quarrel between two national movements to a religious conflict. And shedding light on one of the most important, yet unknown, historical events of Palestine- The Arab Revolt.
- Part 3, March 12: “Falling Empires”- The third part is about the downfall of the Arab national movement. This was in contrast to the rise of the Zionist movement, as it made its journey towards creating a Jewish state. All this, in a decade symbolised by two other major events - World War II and the collapse of the British Empire.
