We’re unpacking the journey of the Zionist — from the beginning of the Roman exile in 70 CE to the present — its relationship with the Arabs in Mandatory Palestine, and its equation to colonialists today. Rooted in the word for the Land of Israel, Zion, the word Zionist may not actually be as “modern” as you thought! In fact, Zionists have been around for thousands of years. The complex and rich history of Israel’s path to statehood is abundant with often-overlooked facts. Historically known as Zion, the Land of Israel has a long and winding past that touches on many peoples, cultures and events.

About The Israeli-Palestinian Context: Learn about one of the most contested issues of our time, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, through a nuanced exploration of multiple perspectives. In this series we put radical and superficial opinions to the side in order to ask highly debated questions about Zionism, discuss accusations of apartheid, explain who Israelis really are, and more—all in hopes of leading to a better future for both sides.
