SUMMARY:Triumph and Tragedy Zionism\, the Palestinians\, and the Creation of Israel\, 1917-1948 at Center for Life Enrichment
DESCRIPTION:Join Professor Kevin Jones for this session covering the early history of the Israel-Palestine conflict\, from the beginning of the British Mandate to the creation of the state of Israel. \nWe will cover four key thematic questions: (1) Why were the Zionists more successful than the Palestinians in establishing organizations and institutions that could function as the nucleus of an independent state? (2) Why did Palestinians turn from diplomacy to resistance and rebellion against both Britain and the Zionists during the course of the colonial period\, and how successful was the strategy of violence? (3) How did the relatively small Israeli army (IDF) so decisively defeat the much larger combined forces of the Palestinians and their Arab state allies? (4) Did the Palestinian refugees “flee” or were they “expelled” from their homes during the 1948 war\, and why has the ensuing Palestinian refugee crisis endured for so much longer than other comparable refugee crises?

SUMMARY:The Gun and the Olive Branch Palestinian Armed Struggle and the Peace Process\, 1967-2025 at Center for Life Enrichment
DESCRIPTION:This session covers the history of the Palestinian national movement from the Six-Day War of June 1967 until the present day. \nProfessor Kevin Jones will cover four key thematic questions: (1) How did the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) justify its use of violence\, including attacks on Jewish civilians and airplane hijacking\, and how “successful” were these strategies of warfare and terrorism? (2) Given the widespread popular support among both Palestinians and Israelis for the idea of a two-state solution endorsed by the Oslo Accords\, why did the Peace Process ultimately fail? (3) Why did Palestinian public opinion gradually shift away from secular political movements like the PLO and toward religious movements like Hamas and Islamic Jihad in the 1990s and 2000s? (4) What did Hamas hope to accomplish with the high-profile attack of October 7th\, 2023\, and how is the ensuing war in Gaza likely to reshape the future of the conflict?

SUMMARY:Birthright Citizenship: A Constitutional Debate in the Age of Originalism at Center for Life Enrichment at Center for Life Enrichment
DESCRIPTION:The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides that “All persons born or naturalized in the United States\, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof\, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” That this provision guarantees “birthright citizenship” to everyone except the children of foreign diplomats stood as a virtually unquestioned feature of American constitutional law for more than a century. Recently\, however\, a small group of conservative legal scholars has endorsed a radically different interpretation\, arguing that the Constitution grants citizenship only to the children of American citizens. Although this interpretation has lingered mainly on the fringes of American constitutional law for the past two decades\, President Donald Trump dramatically endorsed it in January 2025 in an executive order issued on the first day of his second term. The Supreme Court may weigh in or give some hints as to how it might resolve this issue in the near future. \nThis lecture will examine the history of the 14th Amendment’s citizenship clause\, the arguments for and against the two competing interpretations\, what these arguments can teach us about “originalism” as a method of constitutional interpretation\, and the implications of the debate over birthright citizenship for American law\, politics\, and culture.
