Israel/Palestine Presentation Response

After listening to Mrs. Lenahan’s presentation and reading interviews by people who live in this part of the Middle East, compare and contrast the life of someone living in Israel with someone living in the region known as the West Bank/Gaza.  How may their lives be the same or different?  How might you compare either of these with life here in the United States?  What other reflections or connections were able to make from what you heard, saw, and read?

A person from Israel life would be almost all religion and not as much violence, but a person from West Bank/Gaza would have a lot more violence and there is still religion.  But if I compare Israel and West Bank/Gaza to America it would be way different.  America has less violence, less religion, more stores, more food, more water, and better housing.  The interviews that I read and when I read them I felt sad for those kids because they were so used to guns that they weren’t afraid of them.  The presentation and the interviews really changed my view of Israel and West Bank/Gaza.
