Fact+Finding

Take one statement and find a fact for one of the countries to support the statement and then share on the map, how you think that fact effects that country in the turmoil happening today:


 * All have seen massive social upheavals
 * (i.e. Israel, Palistine & Israel conflict is a result of each side believing different versions of the same history. Each side views the conflict as wholly the fault of the other and expects an apology. )
 * All but two – Israel and Iran – are primarily Arab
 * (i.e. Arab countries are far removed from multi-party democracy, the conditions are not ripe for overall peace in the Middle East)
 * All have lagged behind most regions of the world in development
 * Most have experienced massive population growth
 * Most Middle Eastern states have very young populations
