"From the Shtetl to the Shoah, From the Nakba to the Intifada" This presentation covers a brief history of Palestine and Israel: 1901-2001. Questions explored: How did the Holy Land change - in less then one hundred years - from being a few quiet Arab "vilayets" of the Ottoman Empire to being a turbulent British colonial outpost and finally a tragedy-riven fulfillment of the Zionist nation-state project as Israel? Can Muslims, Jews, and Christians secure a common future based on justice, equity and harmony in the Holy Land? Using a Powerpoint slide presentation, Mas'ood Cajee scans this century of great pain and hope in the Holy Land. [Microsoft PowerPoint file, 2.6MB, June 27, 2002]
