cloversandlions Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 and the current political conflicts? This is primarily for my 13yo, so middle/high school level is preferable. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I'm on a phone,so it's hard to search and link. Currclick has a workbook from one the major publishers. I think it's Carson-Dellosa. I think there are 2 editions. I like the older one better. I think there is a sphinx on the cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alte Veste Academy Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 :bigear: I'm really hoping the perfect book is written before we get here because it's been especially relevant to my kids' lives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay3fer Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 My son's (Jewish) school is using this book, but I can't really vouch for it as I haven't read it myself: One Land: Two Peoples - A Concise History of the Arab-Israeli Conflict They are also using this one, but I think it's more of an Israel advocacy book than you may be looking for: The Case for Israel He's in Grade 12, so I think these are both mostly adult level. I did see this one recommended on another forum: Light Behind the Darkness: Stories of Compassion from the Holy Land (co-written by a Palestinian - they don't say if he's Muslim - and a Jewish Israeli) To be honest, I am really hoping that a good solid grounding in world history will provide my kids with the best possible background to the contemporary conflict. Too many adults have too shallow an understanding, based on news reports that act like the whole thing started two weeks ago (or two months, or two years, but certainly not over two millennia!), because good background takes too much precious airtime.
