Jewish and Arab students connect through debate
The Jerusalem Post - June 1, 2008
Yuval Carny, a 10th-grade student at Lady Davis High School in Tel Aviv,
never worked with Arab students before.
However, when asked to partner with a group of students from the Arab town
of Tira for a debate, she and her friends were not worried.
"Some people hesitated, not because of the fact that it was a school from
Tira, but because we would be talking [in front of] many people," she said.
"To the contrary, more people wanted to participate."
Carny was one of four students from Lady Davis to join with four from Tira
High School in a formal debate last Thursday. Mixed Arab and Jewish teams
competed to answer the question "Is the Internet an invasion of our
privacy?" The event was sponsored by Amal, an organization that prepares
Jewish and Arab teenagers for matriculation exams, and the US Embassy in
Israel.
The debate's organizers chose a topic separate from political and cultural
issues so the students could find common ground.
