Why does Al Qaeda care that the United States supports Israel? Israelis (who are Jews) and Palestinians (who are Muslims) have been fighting over Jerusalem since 1947 Since the United States supports Israel, Al Qaeda holds the United States responsible for the deaths of many Muslims Tell your neighbor why we should care about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Day 5

Key Issues in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict 1. Refugees 2. Checkpoints 3. West Bank wall 4. Settlements 5. Curfews

Refugee (noun): someone who leaves their home during a war to go to a safer place After the war in 1948, many Palestinians became refugees. Generations later, over 4.6 million Palestinians are still refugees. These refugees live in refugee camps, such as Dheisheh Refugee Camp, as seen in the film Promises. Palestinian refugees leaving their home after the war in 1948 I would not want to be a refugee because…

Checkpoints Checkpoints remind me of… In order to pass from the West Bank to Israel, Palestinians must pass through a checkpoint.

West Bank wall The West Bank wall reminds me of… In order to keep Palestinians out of Israel, Israel built the West Bank wall.

Israeli settlements in the West Bank Israeli settlements make the Palestinians upset because… Israelis have been building villages throughout the West Bank.

Curfews You ’ re supposed to be inside your house right now!!! Do you have a curfew? If so, what time is your curfew?
