(New Gen) 1967 101: War, Borders, Settlements, and the Beginning of the Occupation
15 May 2022 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm
Six days of war in 1967 between Israel and its neighbours—called variously the June War, Six-Day War, and Naksa—had far-reaching consequences for Israel, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the broader Middle East. Israel’s borders expanded to include East Jerusalem, the West Bank, Gaza, and the Golan Heights, territory it occupies to this day. And the settlements, ever a flashpoint in the conflict, took root in the war’s aftermath. How do we understand this watershed moment in the Israel-Palestine conflict? And how do we connect it with key dimensions of the conflict today: expanding settlements, contested borders, and a military occupation that still governs millions of Palestinians, 55 years later?
