FREE PALESTINE: A Visual History Instazine for Kids is a curated visual history & timeline through some major events in Israel’s occupation of Palestine, its ethnic cleansing & genocide of Palestinians at the hands of the Zionest regime, the IOF and Israeli settlers and most importantly, the ongoing Palestinian resistance to these atrocities.
It can feel difficult to know how to discuss the ongoing horrors of occupation and genocide with young children, which is why one of my suggestions is to start with visual anchors that kids can observe, analyze, question, wonder & think critically about.
Taking this approach offers children the opportunity to start the conversation, leading the discussion in ways we can respond to and facilitate. It also leaves space for interpretation and reminds us that critical conversations with kids are an ongoing process that we move through with care, patience and intention.
