Israel-Hamas War Resource Guide
As the situation in Israel and Gaza develops following the October 7 terrorist attacks by Hamas in Israel, teachers may find themselves fielding questions from students and supporting them in processing what they have heard and seen in the news and on social media. Often when international conflict, war, or humanitarian crises make the news, students ask the same questions: Why is this happening? How is help getting to people? How is the United States involved? This guide is an attempt to help teachers better understand current issues and provide students with the answers they want and need. The resources in this guide not only provide context and understanding of the events of October 7 and of what has happened in Israel and Gaza in the days since, but also provides important historical context for understanding the current situation. We hope these resources serve as useful documents for instruction.
