Middle East Geography and History: Is Conflict Inevitable? (DRAKE HALL)

The history and geography of the Middle East have led to conflicts throughout recorded history, from biblical times to the present.  We will look at how the geography and the history of the region have contributed to so much conflict and discuss whether those factors have created an environment in which long-term peace is unlikely or impossible.

Rabbi Hillel Katzir has been teaching courses about the Middle East and Judaism at OLLI programs for about fifteen years and has been here at CSU OLLI since 2016.  He lived in Israel for several years and has co-led tours of the country.  After serving Jewish Communities in Iowa, Maine, and Colorado, he is now retired and lives in Fort Collins.
