Why These Classes Matter
SAN DIEGO — At MGSDII, we reclaim the classroom. With antisemitism and anti-Zionism rising on campus, our Visiting Israeli Professors and Modern Israel Studies classes are doing something vital: providing academic truth. They give students the tools and the context to look past the social media noise and actually engage with the modern state of Israel.
15 Classes — 9 Departments — 3 Campuses
For the second half of the academic year, we hit a record-breaking milestone of over 350 students enrolled in Israel Studies!
Most of these students fall into the “vast middle.” They aren’t here to protest; they are here to learn. When we give them the truth, their perspectives shift in meaningful ways.
The only thing more powerful than a soundbite? Context.
