This week we watched a video about the 1948 War for Independence and its aftermath.
Next, as you can see in the post below, we started our look at the 1967 Six-Day War with this famous photograph. We then talked about the reasons for Israel's pre-emptive attacks and watched a video about the war itself.
At the end of the post there is a link to some current questions being raised about the war - what was the cost of the victory? What current issues are connected back to it?
In your response to this and the previous post, share some of your thoughts about what we saw today. What does this war mean to Israelis? To Palestinians? To you and your thinking about this ongoing conflict?
I think that there is no good guy in this war. They were both the bad guy in eachother's eyes, so it wasn't random attacking. And the fact that they didn't know eachother's sides makes it impossible to decide who's intentions were better.
