About this lecture

In this second installment of a modern history of Palestine series, the speaker traces 75 years of Palestinian history — from the 1947 UN Partition Plan and the First Nakba through the Six-Day War, the Oslo Accords, the rise of Hamas, and the ongoing devastation in Gaza. Key terms, geopolitical context, and the cyclical nature of displacement and resistance are explained clearly, making this an essential primer for anyone seeking to understand the current reality of the Palestinian people.
