A good synopsis of the history of Israel. I enjoyed learning about this subject, and especially enjoyed the interviews and conversations.

Great course, I learned a lot from it. I would have liked more details and larger class, maybe some optional readings

Interesting course. Good quick way to gain a better understanding of the conflict between Israel and Palestine.

Excellent course. I enjoyed learning about Israel and will help with understanding world events.

very informative one, which will provide you an insight to the evolution and history of Israel.

Very interesting to learn about the process leading up to Israel's creation. Great course!

good for people who wanna know the brief. would be better with more details and sorties

Very good class though at times it could be hard to hear some of the audio lessons

Professors were so qualified but, voice quality was not fine. It can be improved.

Good one for those interested in Israel and the larger politics of Middle East

The teaching for this class is 1st rate. Much information and nuances given

Really interesting but sometimes it is difficult to follow the translation.

There is a problem with subtitles.Sometimes they are different from speech.

Interesting course, but rather too short and not going very deep

A good, even if short, historical review

a bit tedious but lots of information

Great way to learn. Tests are to hard

good to learn about the history

It is a good course.

Good, concise course.

The reason I didn't give it a higher rating is because I found it difficult (not impossible) to follow some of professor Eyal Naveh speach. His first language is not English, so I do not expect him to speak perfect English. However, I would expect the subtitles/transcript not to have basic mistakes. This became important when professor Naveb interview another person in Hebrew, as I found I could not really trust the subtitles.

I think it wouldn't take much to make it an excellent course.

My cheeky suggestion is to have a specialisation with The Emergence of the Modern Middle East by Professor Asher Susser as nucleus and a series of shorter, more in depth courses on certain of the bigger countries, such as Egypt, Turkey and Iran, similar to this one on Israel.

This course is Part 1 of four hours and Part 2 is 12 hours a total of 16 hours. This should ONLY BE ONE COURSE of 16 hours! A significant proportion of this course is also given by Professor Asher Susser and the material he provides is EXACTLY THE SAME as for part of his Emergence of the Middle East, Part 2 I believe. In other words, this is a RIP-OFF! I already paid for Prof Susser's excellent teaching and although I enjoyed most of Part 1, it should all be new material and not mixed with old stuff I have paid for twice. I think Tel-Aviv University is trying to make students pay double and should be ashamed of themselves.
