The War of 1948: New Perspectives
Title: The War of 1948: New Perspectives
Date: March 14, 2016
Speaker: Dr. Benny Morris
Affiliation: Professor of History, Middle East Studies, Ben-Gurion University
Location: ISGAP Center, New York
Description:
Dr. Benny Morris explains the aims of the 1948 war from both the Jewish and Arab perspectives. He argues that documentation indicates that the Arab aims – traditionally seen as “throwing the Jews into the sea” – were, in fact, more complex. Conversely, he states, that the Jewish people simply wanted to survive and live as a free people in their national homeland.
