Six Days that Shook the World: The War and How it Began

Apr 2, 2017


The Six Day War was a watershed event with lasting implications for the Middle East, the Jewish community and the world at large. What long term and immediate causes prompted the war? Could it have been avoided? What was the impact of the Cold War? These questions and others will be examined from the perspectives of Israelis, the Palestinians, the international community, and the wider Arab world.

Introductory Remarks: Lynda Johnson Robb

Panelists: Hussein Ibish, Senior Resident Scholar at the Arab Gulf States Institute Dr. Anita Shapira, Professor Emerita, Tel Aviv University; Founder, Yitzhak Rabin Center for Israel Studies, Tel Aviv University Dr. Kenneth W.
