Schools to bridge racial divide

[toomuchtime_]

The Education Ministry has decided to bridge the divide between Jews and Arabs with a new plan, entitled 'Education for coexistence'.

According to the new initiative, teachers of grades 1-12 will study about the culture, language and heritage of the other race. In addition, the ministry will encourage Arab teachers to teach at Jewish schools, and vice-versa.

The plan, which was initiated due to concern over racism in schools, will also include outings and joint projects such as movies, plays, sportive events, and school trips.

Ynet learned Monday that an Education Ministry committee has focused over the past two years on helping Jewish and Arab teens to coexist. The committee heard from professionals in the fields of conflict resolution and education in order to develop a plan.

The committee handed its recommendations to Education Minister Gideon Sa'ar a week ago, and he is expected to approve the plan – which will be employed in basic subjects such as Civics and Social Studies – shortly.

The committee also recommended teaching tolerance in other subjects, such as Literature, History, Geography, and Art, as well as arranging meetings between faculty members of both races.

Recent polls have found that racism abounds among Jewish and Arab high school students in Israel, and the ministry fears a further exacerbation of fear, lack of trust, and hostility.

This kind of thing goes on all the time in Israel. I wish some of the posters here would actually visit Israel. Then maybe they won't demonize Israelis so much.

Those ones do not want to change their views.

Secular and non religious Jews do not exist in Israel apparently, and Arabs and Jews are separated by race and religion in Tel Aviv; and there is a concentration camp next door to the Knesset so they can keep an eye on all the 'pesky Arabs' in Israel.

PS: Coming back to reality, Jerusalem is a religious city; there is bound to be heavy tension, don't blame the rest of Israel that doesn't actually live there, instead the local authorities that are off the deep end.

Your sarcasm aside, of course there are bound to be tensions between all of these peoples. Even the Druze get pissed if you're not their kind of polite so we all know a bit about each other in order to live together. Be sure of that. If you look at the horror that the death of Rabin brought forth from the Jewish community and the price we have to pay to even get our dead back from the Arabs, then you might see that we as a small group of people are horrified when our own kill our own. Look across the street and with clear eyes.

The horror that a Jew did this to another Jew. Yes, we separate our highly orthodoxy by choice. Separation is a good thing. That's why the separation of Church and State in America does so well. Israel is not there indeed, however in the Middle East there's nothing even close to that separation and Israel is a clear Democracy. So that the strict observance is not couched with the not so strict observance. That's sense. That's tolerance. They tolerate us and we tolerate them and the great chances are that neither would die if Israel was not in a state of declared war. As it is, who can say.

Many do not want to see any of that, preferring a removal of the entire arena and an Arabian country of Palestine in its place. Ever since the birth of Israel has this been so. Israel has the ability and the wherewithal to protect itself from attack. It will do so and with it's previous policy of returning for to double all the million cuts that are inflicted.

There are two sides to this story and both sides are compelling, but the reality is that Israel is there to stay and unless the borders of the Pan Arabian arena are stabilized in a peninsula wide peace I see little use of a peace with a group simply desirous of the death of those it wishes to make peace with.

Will all this education keep Israel from bulldozing Palestinian homes to make room for more settlers?

Claiming bulldozers are helping palistanians in the settling enterprise of the latter is ridiculous.

It seems that the biggest divide among the people is Israeli government policy. I don't think education will make much difference if the cause of the problem is not addressed.

Ah, affirmative action. Pathetic.
