Past and Present – Does History Repeat Itself?

"Are Israelis the New Crusaders?"*  is an article by Prof. David Ohana. The article explores the Crusader metaphor that sees Israel as a Western – colonialist entity in the Eastern Arab territory. The Arab anti –colonialism was represented as a war of Muslims against Crusaders.

At the heart of the "Political Science and Middle East studies" programme is the intention to impart the full diversity of historical and political interpretation of the conflict that lies at the heart of most contemporary accounts of Israel-Palestine. To achieve this, the programme is taught by a broad spectrum of scholars and experts (both Israeli and Palestinian) drawn from a range of backgrounds and political opinions.
