Students Study Palestine: In Context of Colonial World History

Record numbers of educators are downloading Teaching the Seeds of Violence in Palestine-Israel. We’ve heard wonderful stories about the impact of the lesson, such as this one:

The most amazing aspect of this lesson was my students’ ability to recognize the common themes presented in the story of Palestine with stories of other colonial projects we had studied, including in India, the United States, Sudan, and the Congo.


Overall, this lesson helped my students understand the roots of the political issue that is Palestine and evaluate many of the common misconceptions of where the conflict comes from. — Rodrigo Palacios Tenorio, high school social studies teacher, Tempe, Arizona

The core values of HRE USA and its partner organizations include transparency and critical thinking skills. We believe that human rights--and human rights education--belong to everyone, and that the full realization of human rights means that access to human rights education materials must never be conditioned upon the subscription to any particular religious faith, ideology, political affiliation, or membership in any particular organization and that any organizational connections should be openly acknowledged.
