Ep 3. Rashid Khalidi, The Hundred Years' War on Palestine
Jeffrey Sachs
Economics professor, bestselling author, innovative educator, UN advisor, and global leader in sustainable development.
In this episode of Book Club with Jeffrey Sachs, Columbia University Professor Rashid Khalidi, the world’s leading historian of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, discusses his remarkable new book, The Hundred Year’s War on Palestine.
How ironic, but how important, that this new episode arrives at a time of renewed violence and death in Israel and Palestine. Professor Khalidi helps us to understand the deep injustices against the Palestinian people that help to explain the current conflict. Lasting peace requires historical understanding, and Professor Khalidi’s new book, drawing on his family’s long and illustrious history in Palestine, can guide us towards that understanding.

3 年I haven't read The Hundred Year's War on Palestine, but I HIGHLY recommend The Lemon Tree by Sandy Tolan for a historically sound, balanced, civilian-level dialogue of the conflict.
