Dr. Pitz receiving an explanation of the
security fence from IDF soldiers guarding the Gaza border
I have been teaching Middle East History for many years. Knowing the
history is a great advantage for trying to make sense of the current
conflicts in the region. In May, 2006 I visited both the Palestinian
West Bank and the Gaza border region. Because I have friends there,
this history is very personal. Please listen my story about Gaza and
visit The Professor's House again soon.
