BETHLEHEM (Ma’an) — Iconic British musician Roger Waters launched an education resource on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in Dublin this week, an Irish solidarity group said.
Mr Waters told a packed audience in Dublin that he “wholeheartedly endorsed” a teaching pack entitled ‘Palestine & Israel – How will there be a Just Peace?’, which was co-produced by Sadaka – the Ireland Palestine Alliance.
The resource is the first curriculum approved teaching module on Israel/Palestine in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, and provides a critical analysis of the conflict in a context of human rights.
“I have studied the education pack… and it is extremely well laid out, extremely informative and eloquent in a way that kids will understand,” Waters said.
Marie Crawley, chair of Sadaka, said that Waters’ endorsement of the pack is “immeasurable in its importance and will be hugely influential with young people around the country as we encourage schools to use this resource.”
Roger Waters is a longtime activist for Palestinian rights.
