Myths & Facts
We are committed to arming students with the information they need to respond to the very difficult issues raised on the campus. The single best resource on the subject of the Arab-Israeli conflict is Myths and Facts: A Guide to the Arab-Israeli Conflict by Mitchell Bard. M&F is available online in our Library in English, Spanish, French, German, Russian, Swedish, Portuguese, and Hebrew. The English version is regularly updated. We have also published a paperback edition and co-produced a video version of M&F. Students may also
join our mailing list to receive weekly Myths & Facts.
AICE's Israel Education Initiative produces one page fact sheets on major issues such as the Palestinian "right of return," the Bush Plan, and the status of Jerusalem to arm students with background on current events.
AICE and Barad Entertainment have teamed to produce On One Foot: a Middle East Guide for the Perplexed or How to Respond on Your Way to Class, When Your Best Friend Joins an Anti-Israel Protest.

It also contains maps, a bibliography, and a webography.
