The Israel-Palestine Conflict Explained
Here's a terrific clip from Vox explaining the Israel-Palestine conflict.
I really want to discuss this topic with my students but am worried about parents complaining from one side or the other. I am a non tenured teacher. Can you give me any advice on how to preface this as to eliminate the strong feelings some people have about the topic. I feel it is incredibly important to discuss current events and this is essential to understanding the big picture in the middle east. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
