Students will be presenting these perspectives and then everyone will
break into small groups to discuss the presentations.

Three young Israelis who have just finished their army service and are

Israel - the disengagement from Gaza, the Palestinian elections, the recent
Israeli on Israeli violence in the dismantling of the settlement of Amona,
and the upcoming Israeli elections.  These are not policians or official
