Product Description
There is much misinformation and many outright lies spread today about
the facts of the Middle East conflict. In this broadcast Michael
Medved recounts the history of the small area of land which is modern
Israel. A remote and obscure territory of first the Roman Empire, then
the Ottoman Empire and later the British Empire, Jews, Arabs and
Christians have lived there for centuries. But bloody conflict between
these neighbors erupted after events following World War I and the
establishment of various Middle East states, including the State of
Israel. Why? Michael Medved presents facts to clarify a dark and
confusing segment of world history.

Thumbs up on: Why They Fight
Posted by Ronald Kemple on 11th Feb 2016
Very interesting and relevant, full of information both old and new to me about the Israeli Arab conflict, and relating the Palestinian refugees to the Tories who had to flee the United States after our Revolutionary War with Britain was spot on.

Michael Medved is a balanced and engaging historian. I wish this presentation was an automatic requirement for all Middle Eastern study programs!

Very Informative!
Posted by Jamie on 16th Feb 2015
Hello,
This had always been a subject of interest for me and I leaned a lot through this program! It really cuts through a lot of untruths that we typically hear about the conflict. I actually listened to it twice over the weekend.
Thanks,

Comprehensive, enlightening

Shines a light on the true sources of today's conflict. Not what is covered in the media and not what I expected. An excellent context for understanding the Arab/Israeli conflict.

Understanding Gaza
Posted by Larry Uelk on 9th Aug 2014
I really enjoyed listening to the 2+ hours of the history of the Israel/Palestine conflict. One of the reasons I listen to Michael is his depth of knowledge of history and the interesting details he incorporates making his responses so interesting. I would suggest updating the reference to Bin Laden. It dates the program. I also enjoyed listening to the callers when they responded to the program.

The fact about Israel
Posted by Steve Bliss on 20th Sep 2013
This is the best 2:30 minutes of the history of Israel on the market. Forget everything you will hear or have heard about the conflict in Israel and just listen to Medveds clear, to the point history of the state of Israel. It is so enlightening it will change your view of the middle east. It is worth listening to several times!
