Film: Birth of a Conflict, Episode 2

(Avi Merkado Ettedgui & Yaron Niski, 2022, 55 min, Israel)

Episode 2: The story of how the Jewish-Arab conflict turned from a territorial quarrel between two national movements into a religious conflict. During this period, the Great Arab Revolt against British rule was crushed with brutal collective punishment including indiscriminate bombing and house destruction.

Discussion led by UCSC professor Bruce Thompson.
