Assessment

Question

(TCO 9) As the simulation shows, Muhammed’s father was
killed by the Israelis in their war of independence, as they attempted to
defend their state and enforce the boundaries established by the UN. Although
this was an international decree, all Muhammed witnessed was his father’s death
and the loss of his family home as the land of his forefathers was taken to
make room for what many Palestinians viewed as the “occupiers.” If you were
him, how would you react? For example, would you blame the Israelis for hurting
your father and taking your land, and then pass on this hatred to your children
so they would know never to trust the Israelis? Would you seek revenge for your
family and people? Or is there a chance that you would accept the new
conditions of the UN resolution because it was in the best interest of the
people of the world? What about simply seeking strength in your religion and
guiding your children away from the hatreds of the past in an effort to protect
them? Please put some thought into your answer and provide at least 4–5
sentences as you explain it.

Question 2

(TCO 9) Within the Israeli home, Ben knows from the horrors
faced by his parents what can happen when there is not a state of Israel in the
world. He thus supports his state and will do anything to defend its claim to
this region. How does this differ from Muhammed’s stance?

It doesn’t differ;
they both suffered death and loss, and they both simply want to protect their
families.

Ben has more of a
claim to hardship because his parents suffered in the Holocaust.

Muhammed has been
wronged the most because he lost his land and his father to the cause.

None of the above

Question 6

(TCO 9) Given what you have read and what you know about the
conflicts between Israel and Palestine, what is the likelihood that the
children will continue the cycle of violence in this land if nothing radically
changes?

Because the
Palestinian children fight the government and the Israeli children back the
military that puts down these rebellions, the conflict is likely to continue.

The death of some
will drive the call for more death, as seen in Miriam’s loss of her fiancée and
Mariam’s loss of her parents.

Eventually, peace
will be found, because the children will see the errors of their ways.

A and B

B and C

None of the above

Question 7

(TCO 9) What impact has the violence in this land had on the
legitimacy of the Israeli government?

Those who support
the Israeli perspective, such as Ben, highly support the government.
