Israel is a country that draws a lot of public attention around the globe. Nevertheless, both those who support Israel and those who are critical of its geopolitical standing and policies, usually have a very limited knowledge about the Israeli society and its political system. This course presents Israel from multiple perspectives - political, social, economic and cultural - in an attempt to expose the learners to a cutting edge academic research on the country.

TOP REVIEWS FROM ISRAEL STATE AND SOCIETY
Really good over view of the demographics of Israeli society. As a diaspora Jew it's given me a greater understanding of Israeli politics.
Course not updated politically as of year 2022, GCC arab countries signed diplomatic relation contracts with Israel
I really loved this course! THanks Coursera, thanks the HEbrew University of Jerusalem for this opportunity. I will keep on learning and hold this diploma as an award! Thanks again!! Diego da Rocha
Very informative, and engaging, videos. There are however no links to useable reading texts, which is a shame. But the content of the videos are of incredible value.
