Palestinian & Israeli: One Question Two Perspectives

By Mark Holmes

Palestinian & Israeli: One question Two Perspectives

In this ebook you will find ten questions posed twice. One response is from a Palestinian & one from an Israeli. The views are moderate, but perspectives are clearly seen and can provide comparative insights into their respective perspectives. 

By asking these questions to both interviewees, we can compare the nuanced views that exist on either side of the conflict. It is important to approach these conversations with empathy and an open mind, as the answers will reflect deeply held beliefs and experiences shaped by a complex history and challenging realities.

The questions are followed by 10 potential assignments and projects aimed at a grades 9 to 12.

Here is a list of 10 questions that you can ask both a moderate Gazan Palestinian and a moderate Israeli:

  1. Historical Narrative: How do you understand the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and how does that history inform your perspective on the current situation?
  2. Personal Impact: In what ways has the conflict directly affected your life and the lives of those closest to you?
  3. Security Concerns: How do you perceive the issues surrounding security and safety for your community, and what measures do you believe are necessary to improve them?
  4. Political Solutions: What political solution do you envision as being the most fair and sustainable to address the issues of the conflict?
  5. Land and Settlements: What is your stance on the issue of land, settlements, and the right of return for refugees?
  6. International Role: How do you view the role of international actors, such as the United States or the United Nations, in resolving the conflict?
  7. Daily Coexistence: Are there areas of daily life where you see successful coexistence between Israelis and Palestinians, and what can be learned from these examples?
  8. Education and Misconceptions: What role do you think education plays in perpetuating or resolving the conflict, and what misconceptions might people on each side have about the other?
  9. Economic Factors: How do you believe the conflict has shaped the economic situation for Palestinians and Israelis, and what economic changes would you propose to support peace efforts?
  10. Vision for Peace: Can you describe your personal vision for peace and how individuals from both societies can contribute to achieving it?
