Understanding October 7, 2023 and the Middle Eastern Conflict:
Contexts, Histories, and TensionsÌý

In light of the Israel-Hamas War, the Boisi Center would like to offer a resource guide to provide contextual information about the historical, political, and religious tensions fueling this conflict. We reached out to several Boston College professors from various departments, including political science, international studies, theology, and sociology. They have recommended some resources on the tensions in the Middle East, which are compiled below. We hope that this guide will be a useful resource for those seeking more information about the histories, perspectives, and tensions at play in the conflict.Ìý
