About Dr. Barry Preisler
I am a political scientist who taught Middle East and Palestinian-Israeli conflict studies for 25 years at Sonoma State University and other California universities. I hold a Ph.D. from UC Berkeley and a B.S. from the American University of Beirut. I lived in Lebanon in the early 1970s, and have traveled extensively throughout the region, and retired in 2023.
This series is an abbreviated version of my semester-length course, “Israel, the Palestinians and US Foreign Policy,” which I taught for 25 years at Sonoma State University.
Since October 7th, 2023, many have been overwhelmed by the magnitude of the death toll and the destruction of the physical infrastructure of the Gaza Strip. Whether you have limited knowledge of the Palestinians’ past or a significant familiarity with the Palestinian experience, these lectures aim to connect the signal events of history—from the rise of Political Zionism to the present.
