This is a very tough subject–the continuing violence between two groups of people who have claims on the same piece of land: Israel and Palestine. Please choose one of the questions below, do some research, and then share a bit of what you’ve learned. You will be expected to show respect for all parties involved, both Palestinians (Muslims and Christians) and Israelis (mostly Jews, with a smattering of Muslims and Christians).
How did the conflict begin?
What is Zionism?
What was the six-day war and what impact did it make?
What was the Camp David peace accord? Who were the leaders? What came of it?
What’s the two-state solution?
What are the signs of hope?
