How To Really End The Conflict
Feeling like positive middle east news today.
There are some professors in Israel and Palestine who are working together to build a new history curriculum. This is a really really really good idea. It is for high school students 14-16 in Palestine and Israel. Looking at how history is currently taught gives insight into the foundation of the conflict and, in my opinion, is a sure fire way to propagate the conflict interminably. By combining the conflicting views of history, and presenting them together I hope that these teenagers will be able to see alternate views and understand that their history truly is shared.
You can’t have revolution without disaffected youth. This is a huge step for aiming the youth in the right direction. Right now it is only at 14 high schools, hopefully this program will take off and be a sign of things to come.
