Because I am just as guilty as many other students my age of being thoroughly uninformed about what--and why--conflict is going on between Israel and Palestine, I thought that this article was incredibly helpful.
While this piece doesn't go into all the deep, complex bits about the conflict that has been going on for years between the two groups, it does give the basics that anyone living, and interested, in what's happening should know.
Like the author, I still feel very uninformed after reading, but a step closer. Give it a read!
