Curriculum Materials Gaza: A Human Rights Story

Rational: In July 2009, several teachers on scholarship traveled to Egypt for four weeks as part of a study tour of the country. While our stated goal was to witness Islam through an Egyptian Lens and produce curriculum for our classes on said topic, we found that an essential concern of the Egyptian people was the Israel/Palestine conflict, especially the December, 2009 war on Gaza. No matter where our discussions began, we often came back to this topic. Egyptians questioned why the U.S. government supported Israel and not Palestine.

Curriculum Materials A Mideast Conference: The Arab-Israeli Conflict

Rational: Popular misconceptions derived from broadcast and print media sources on both sides portray a position of absolutes. An unbiased study of the region is necessary to evaluate and understand the opposing viewpoints, position and acts of the principal parties involved in the conflict. No valid position or suggested solution can be formulated by students without understanding the geography, economics and social organizations of the region
