Today we watched footage of the historic 1947 UN vote to approve the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine. We then examined a map of the Partition Plan, which divided the country into a Jewish state and a Palestinian Arab state. We discussed why (or why not) a Zionist might have accepted the plan, and why (or why not) an Arab might have accepted the plan.
On Thursday we'll have a belated Yom Ha'Atzmaut celebration in school, with Israeli dance, music and food.
