1) Define conflict. What does it mean to you? What do you think it means to the Israeli people? 2) Find Israel in the news. Read a couple of different articles. Now are you starting to get what Kevin means when he says 'conflict'? |

Kevin - The Quest for Facts (or Truth?) in the Middle East The trekkers discuss how the history of Israel/Palestine was written for students, and how it is now being rewritten for them in order to better reflect what really happened. |
1) Discuss the difference between fact, truth and myth. How can you tell the difference? 2) Are there any events in you culture which have been presented to you in a certain fashion that may or may not be true? How must we "read into" the facts in order to extract the truth? |
|
Kevin - An Old Language Reborn Trace the resurgence of Hebrew as a spoken language as Zionism developed. Hebrew is contrasted to the Romantic languages to explain how it is different. |
Think of how important language is to a culture. Now can you see why Eliezer Perelman revived Hebrew? What other cultures do you know of that are losing their native languages? |
