EXERCISE 5

RS2235, The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, 15 higher education credits
SPRING 2010

Is peace possible?
Make use of the book by Mahler et al. Also, if possible “google” on the net, and try to analyse the common grounds/bridges of different proposals in the conflict? Which one is closest in the sense that it builds common ground between the parties? Which is most difficult? How have the proposal dealt with the key issues of the conflict? Do you have any recommendations for improvement of a proposal you think has most potential, and in such case, what changes do you suggest? You will be divided into groups that discuss the arguments, and in the end of the seminar you will have a plenary discussion.

Good Luck!
