Introduction

In today's times of war and terror, it is vitally important that we promote and maintain peace between all nations, cultures, and ethnic groups. War and terrorism should not dominate the headlines of our news day after day or be a source of such overwhelming concern for us all. Individuals and organizations must initiate peaceful resolution to conflict. An ongoing conflict that concerns people all over the world, is that between Israel and Palestine. In this WebQuest, you will explore the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, write a plan for peace, and make a presentation to the United Nations identifying your recommendations and strategies for peaceful resolution to the conflict.

Some of the questions you will be exploring include:

• What is the history of the region?

• What are the issues surrounding the conflict?

• What roles do/can other countries/parties play in sustaining or resolving the conflict?

• What is the current state of affairs (what are both sides wanting)?
