Resources to help children avoid antisemitism and Islamophobia

Nov 14, 2023 by

from Religion Media Centre:

Solutions not Sides, a charity helping young people develop skills for dialogue and conflict resolution, says it is concerned at the impact of the war in Israel / Gaza on children in schools. It suggests the internet has become “catastrophic” for children with violent images, fake news, propaganda and misinformation, which require young people to develop critical thinking and know how to fact check.

Resources for lessons and a guide on how to avoid antisemitism and Islamophobia when discussing Israel / Palestine, have been produced to help teachers navigate the subject. It says it is better for teachers to support students to discuss a difficult topic rather than shut it down.

Yesterday the Board of Deputies, and Jewish Leadership Council put on the record that they support the charity’s work.
