Are you looking to understand the Israel-Hamas war? The Israel-Palestine conflict goes back decades, but the war beginning on October 7th marks a step backward from any hope of securing a two-state solution and peace. In this podcast, hosted by Emma Kudelka (Form IV), Dr. Laura Shaw Frank offers a deeper explanation of the history behind the war and some of the recent implications of the current conflict.
Dr. Frank serves as the director of the American Jewish Committee’s Contemporary Jewish Life Department and speaks often at schools around the country about American Jewry, antisemitism, and Israeli history. Dr. Frank is a familiar name at Fieldston, as she spoke about the war at a recent assembly. With this interview, Emma Kudelka (Form IV), who has been writing for The Fieldston News for two years, hopes to provide a new resource for students to learn about the conflict.
