Prof. Eran Kaplan: The Six-Day War Revisited
Virtual Program
The 1967 Six-Day War has impacted Israel in a profound way. Much has been said and written about the regional, geo-political impact of the war; however, its impact on Israeli society, economy and culture were also far-reaching, helping transition Israel from the socialism of its founders to a more individualistic, free-market society that has embraced the (American) West and its values. In this talk, we will explore how a new Israel emerged after the Six-Day War.
