Description

The Arab-Israeli conflict has been raging for almost 100 years. In parallel with the physical war, a fierce clash of apparently irreconcilable narratives characterises much of the debate in the Middle East and beyond. This poses a dilemma for educators – how can students make sense of the conflicting claims and accusations? This book provides an answer. The authors, all of whom have been directly involved in educating young people about the conflict, have set out the two narratives in a straightforward, easy-to-read manner. This method enables both students and teachers to assess and discuss the various complex issues in a dispassionate and evidence-based way. There is no “right” answer though students of the subject will, as a result of considering the opposing arguments in depth, feel empowered to reach a rational judgement on the strengths and weaknesses of the respective cases.
