Jewish Education and Ethnic Identification: A Study of Jewish Adolescents in Australia

1. The National Council for Jewish Education urges upon the appropriate educational organizations the creation of an educational program to counter-act the recent spate of anti-Israel propaganda emanating both from the political left as well as from other sources. Inasmuch as the Jewish youth of America are bombarded with material which is blatantly critical of Israel's policies and practices in various political domains, it is essential that a countervailing educational program be developed under Jewish educational auspices. Such a program should involve the dissemination of appropriate material currently extant, the creation of whatever new informational materials are required, and the engagement of Jewish youth in dialogue on the substantive issues regarding the Israel-Arab conflict.
