As a young first year student at the Eastern Mediterranean International School, I quickly began to be introduced to all the complexities that surround the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. I began to hear opinions that were completely new to my ears, I began to learn facts that have never occurred to me, and I interacted with Israelis for the first time. One of the more significant moments of my pathway to exploring the conflict from both perspectives, firsthand, was the Peace Simulation hosted by the Leon Charney Resolution Center.
