OLLI MEMBERSHIP WELCOME- <\/strong>Thursday, November 16, 12:00PM-1:00PM<\/p>\n

CYBER SENIORS WINDING DOWN<\/strong>– Our students will be finishing up their time with us in the next few weeks.

THE ARAB-ISRAELI CONFLICT UP UNTIL THE 1990S<\/p>\n

3 Sessions with Jim Buxton on Dec 13, 14, 15  1:00PM-2:30PM<\/p>\n

This 3-session course will provide a concise review of the necessary history of the “Arab Israeli” conflict up until the peace treaties in the 1990s. In doing so, we will continuously attempt to acknowledge many viewpoints regarding controversial topics: Zionism, the Balfour Declaration, the UN Partition Plan, the causes and results of the 1967 War, etc. We will not spend a lot of time, in this course, analyzing the current conflict as this would be putting the cart before the horse. We will, however, allow some time at the end of each of the 3 sessions for participants to orate to some extent. A part 2, dealing with events from 1995 on, will be offered some time after the New Year.<\/p>\n

*OLLI requires a minimum enrollment of 10 students per class. If you are interested in registering for any of these classes, please don’t wait! Call today (401-874-4197) or log on to your OLLI account.<\/a><\/p>\n
